Hi, brief info for what i did for my upgrade from vb4.1.10 to vb5.4.4
1. mysqldump vb4.1.10 data and rsync it to new server and restore back
2. copy fresh vb5.4.4 files to new server by using fliezilla ftp tool
3. run upgrade.php and encountered 1 time screen no refresh and i resume back the upgrade.php with no error.
4. After done upgrade. can access to admincp and access main forum
5. encountered database collation issue - user profile page return error page
6. changed all my database tables to utf8-generial-ci from phpmyadmin. usergroup issue solved
7. Encountered copy and paste issue when content involving special chacracters like ' and ".
8. Change character set at language manager to UTF-8 from ISO-8859-1
9. also uncomment charset utf8 in include.config.php
New server info, dedicated server, mysql 5.6.38-1, php ea-php71, centos 7.5
current issue
1. My Vbulletin 5.4.4 got the "Please enter message text" error when a guest was trying to register a new account and hit the complete signup button. New user can be seen in user list but user did not get any welcome message. I deleted the username in welcome email message field from admincp --> option --> user registration options. No more "Please enter message text" error message. But also no welcome message. i found out that the pm title and pm body in welcome PM can not take special characters like { ' ". if i put only text and number. no error and pm can send through
2. in many posts but not all. i saw many ’. it suppose to be '. Also have other strange characters
3. when ever i copy and post a paragraph that contain ' or " or some other special characters, not all are pasted. seems like the paragraph got cut after the special characters
4. in admincp - stype template. my html code got cut as well when i paste. cut after special character "
5. copy or move selected posts only to new thread - but the entire posts in the thread was copied or moved over
6. copy or move 10 selected posts to existing thread - 1st post was moved as post, the other 9posts become comments under the first post.
P/S: not sure 5 and 6 issues also related to special character. because the result always not consistent. Some posts can move with no issue.
Thanks in advance for the help
