Currently using 3.8.4 PL2 on PHP 5.2 and want to move to 3.8.9 on PHP 5.6. Can this be done in one go or do we have to do it in stages? If we upgrade to PHP 5.6 straight away I realise that 3.8.4 PL2 won't work, but will the upgrader work well enough to get us to 3.8.9? Or should we upgrade to some intermediate higher version of the forums first and then upgrade PHP, then the forums again? Just after some guidance on the best upgrade path, thanks.

The upgrader will work fine. In terms of the actual upgrade 3.8.4 to 3.8.9 is not major. It's just php compatibility and a handful of minor bugfixes.

by Doug NelsonI'm using 3.8.4 and can't upgrade any further without upgrading MySQL and PHP on my server. Unfortunately, there are several steps of incompatibility from 3.8.4 to 5, where the next version won't install...
