I am going to give vB5 a try...
I already dumped my database but did not change the URL information before dumping it....
In the vBulletin 5 manual it says the following...
It gives you the instructions for step 1, but not step 2.
I can not take my site down and redump the database so option 2 is the only option for me.
What do I need to change in the database? (I have PHPMyAdmin installed)
Thanks.

tep 1 - Update URLs and Backup your database!
An all important step in any upgrade but without it, you'll never be able to test an upgrade - period! As you're going to be moving your database to be read by software on a different URL, you need to make sure you update the database to reflect this. There are two ways to do this:
1. Update the URLs before backing up the database or
2. Update manually in the database after backing up (NOT RECOMMENDED)
