I am preparing for a move to VB5 from 4.2.5 and am reading the Manual and Sticky guides and I am a little confused about how to best achieve a seamless migration.
Given that previous upgrades require a simple, upload of the files into the existing directories and running the upgrade script I was hoping for a similar easy approach.
My research has thrown up some inconsistent upgrade recommendations.
The manual looks to continue this practice and described here : https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...e_preparefiles
Whereas the sticky here https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/foru...ll-vbulletin-5
appears to say not to overwrite any 4.X files and install into a fresh directory, although this was written in 2012. This is not mentioned in the manual at all.
So this has confused me somewhat as following the online manual has always proved to be a safe guide in my experience.
Is there a definitive guide for upgrading from 4 to 5 ?
Thanks
