307 to 364

Fresh install of 364 files on server and restored db at 307.

Ran upgrade script and this is what I get: ANy ideas ?

Database error in vBulletin :

You should not install 3.6.4 and then restore a database and then run upgrade.

Start over, doing it like this:

* Restore the 3.0.7 database into a new database
* Upload the 3.6.4 files
* Update config.php from 3.6.4 to point to this 3.0.7 database
* Run upgrade.php

If you already have a 3.6.4 installed and are using it live, do the following instead:

* Backup the 3.6.4 database
* Install impex on top of 3.6.4
* Point config.php from impex to the 3.0.7 database
* Run impex from the admincp
* When done, uninstall impex

Thanks for the reply !!

The order you stated was done exactly that way.

Restored 307 database into new database
Uploaded 364
Ran upgrade script.

I have upgraded many times in my past and am by no means an expert, but I do know the basics and am stumped here.

I reloaded all install / includes file again in ASCii to be sure.

Help ?

To be honest, if all the files are upploaded 100% correctly you should not get this. Why aren't you directly upgrading the 3.0.7, but restoring a backup first?
Maybe the MySQL versions differ from old / new server?
