I'd like to migrate my users list from 2.0.13, can i do a direct dump of my old users tables into my new install with success?

Why to make fresh install ? You can easily upgrade from 2.0.13 to 2.2.

But, if you really want I think you can make it like this:

- export your 2.0.13 database
- make a fresh install of 2.2
- import 2.0.13 database
- run xoopsupdate.php
- reinstall system module

I think this should work but I am not sure ... Off course make a backup!

when re-installing system module, I get the following errors...

well, got the users imported, and logins now work, although, users aren't showing up under the admin user search tool...and after updating the system module, I still notice this



Any useful input is appreciated.

Import database.

In phpMyadmin, I do not see this function. I was going to manually do this but hey, its time to use the tools we are blessed with.

So, how exactly do I "import" the original database into the present one?

Thanks guys. =)

i just update all file from 2.2
and then run xoopsupdate.php

but fail at ..

To import a database with phpMyAdmin, select the SQL tab at the top, and then select the Browse... button.

You may need to drop all the tables first, depending on whether the .sql file you're importing contains DROP TABLE queries.

But as noted above, you're going to run into problems importing users from 2.0.x to 2.2, since there are various tables that have to be modified.

Perhaps I should elaborate on what I did.

When I moved the site and database, I got some errors regarding newbb.

The reason was for whatever reason, the modules directory did not completely download. I lost newbb and all modules for the site from n to a.

Very odd but true.

In any case, what would you suggest is the best option for such a newb activity as not backing stuff up right? I am still shrugging about that.

Version we were using was 2.0xx

And thanks for such a quick reply from you guys.
