Hi everyone,
It's been a few years since I've been in this position, but we have decided to take the big leap and upgrade from vBulletin 3.6.4 to the latest stable version of vBulletin (4.1.3).
Our database is about 25 GB. A lot of that data is private messages.
We literally have not done any sort of major update since 3.6.4, but we have done a few modifications such as adding indexes, installing Sphinx Search (years ago, when it was unsupported by vBulletin).
I'm sure this is asked a lot (and I will do some searching), but can someone give us a few tips or suggestions on how to go about this? I will be using the command line upgrade, although I'm expecting issues.
Thanks guys!
Edit: I have a test environment setup to work through any struggles I come across. (I'm not crazy.)
