Copying a modules contents/table

Hi All,
I was running xoops 2.0.17, now I have installed xoops 2.4.5 on another location.
I have Smart Section 2.13 installed and lot of articles added in it in my previous version of xoops. Please let me know how I can copy its contents to the newer version of xoops. Will I need to copy the old database or any table(s) from it and how to do this all.

Thanks for your help.

If the new one is a fresh install, consider transferring a copy of the old site (files + db) to the new server and then doing an upgrade of XOOPS.

Thanks for your reply.
Tried to upgrade it already, but upgrade didn't worked for me. That's why I installed a fresh copy and I want to copy the stuff I need. Please guide how to copy Smart Section.

What problems did you have? Normally there should be no problems with upgrade.

Re: Copying a modules contents/table

Long story sir, i tried thrice, but I don't remember the exact problem now. And don't want to get into upgrade any more. Can you please send me advice on copying module instead of upgrade please.
But if its really hard to copy the module over there, then you will have to guide me step by step...............

You could copy the module tables (see /mysql/mysql.sql), but that are not the only module data that you need. The other data are buried inside the other XOOPS database tables as for permissions, notifications, etc or even comments.
Some modules can cope with the lack of these data and recreate eg permissions etc, but some don't.
I still assume that making a copy of your old site and then upgrading XOOPS, would be the easiest way.

See this for moving XOOPS between servers.
The trust path are the xoops_lib and xoops_data directories.
The release notes you find in the article that announces 2.4.5 in the News section (follow get xoops 2.4.5), and describe the upgrade procedures.
