[Forum] Upgraded from 3.5 to 4 ... but old database not showing!

[JKerviel12]

Hi all

I have just upgraded the forum software. However, it looks like it made a new installation, not merely upgraded. How can I get it back to connect to my old database? I have entered the correct settings in config.php ...

I think what I have done, is run install.php instead of upgrade.php! I will run upgrade.php now and see if that helps ...

That hasn't worked ...

If you ran install and chose to delete the tables, running Upgrade.php won't do anything - you need to restore the backup you took before starting the upgrade process and then run upgrade.php again after that.

Thank you, that should do the trick

Actually, I see the database is still on my server .. 1.97GB. What should I do?

My upgrade is aborted. This is the message I am getting:

Were your attachments stored in the filesystem previously? Are the folders still CHMOD 0777 if they were?
