I have a stable version of my site running version 1.3.7 of Xoops. I have been dangling in the past for a bit while I got my themes and custom modules up to date for the 2.0.3 version (which now is going to be upgraded again to 2.0.5). Now I am satisfied with my modules and what-not, and I want to upgrade my stable site from 1.3.7 to the new and improved 2.0.5.
I cannot lose any of my members database, discussion boards or my news database and so on. I want to upgrade the site with the most minimal amount of effort possible, and I want to be sure not to corrupt anything.
What is the best way to upgrade my site to the most current version without destroying anything? Are there utilities that I need to download? How can I be sure that the database will be intact and compatible when I'm done?
Thanks for all your help.
