hello everyones
as the title says, im working on a project to help upgrade a vb3.7.0 board...
it has over 600,000 posts, 37000 threads, and 19,000 members...
i looked over a test installation and its pretty decently modded but could be worse and ive read a few topics by now of the basic procedures and think i get the basic idea...
for one thing, im planning to turn off all the products/plugins, for the upgrade, then slowly reactivate...i have already researched which ones are compatible or not...
test site is set up...
id like to get a little feedback at this point for the proper steps, as for one thing, ive never dealt with vb3 or a board this large...
is there any tips, beyond of what is in the vb3.7 manual for large boards?
sql version is 5.0.90
php, is, ugh, old, like not even 5.2 somehow lol...but will be either 5.3 or 5.4 at least for the first upgrade part, then hopefully upgraded again after the vb3.8 script is run...
so then thinking to go 3.8.9, then php/sql, then 3.8.10beta1...
will those upgrades be relatively smooth/automatic? i dont really understand like the points where things like innodb tables changed and stuff, just need to get this site upgraded and secured in the best order of steps.
thanks!
