I am moving servers and upgrading. The old system is using VB 3.6.12 and MySQL 4.1.12. The new system is VB 3.8.2 and MySql 5.0.81. What steps would I take to make the upgrade and server migration? Would I upgrade the old VB to the latest version, backup the old db, then upload the db to the new server? Is there a way to just use the old db without upgrading and then uploading it to the new system? Or is the db schema from 3.6.12 to 3.8.2 too different?

Are you saying you already installed vB on the new server? You can't restore a 3.6.12 database over a 3.8.2. It makes it a 3.6.12 database with 3.8.2 schema, which means you're on 3.6.12 and cannot upgrade.
Here are our instructions for moving servers. Following these should result in the best possible move. -
Yes the new server already has the latest version. Would the best thing be to upgrade the current server to 3.8.2 and than transfer the db?
Thanks alot for your help.Comment
