Hi folks, I've just taken over maintanance of our customer forum only to find that nobody here has any knowledge of maintaining or supporting it, we have no backup/disaster recovery plan to speak of and it is on a pretty decrepit version which restricts my abilities to do some of the things I want. My plan is to recover everything to another server, thus proving DR, then run a test upgrade on that system, then the live upgrade. But I'm used to all microsoft houses and I'm horribly new to both mysql and PHP.
Thus far I have done the following
I suspect this is fairly simple but I'm aware I'm lacking some base knowledge on mysql/PHP. until I can successfully recover to this box and test the upgrade I'm not touching my live system :/
Any thoughts would be welcome
Edit: ah sorry, and it's v2.3.5 that I'm currently on.
Thus far I have done the following
- Intalled latest stable releases of mysql and PHP.
- Restored the DB from the live server.
- Copied the web pages from the live server.
- Created a new virtual directory on IIS
- Added a new mapping for .PHP and pointed it to PHP.exe
- Added index.php to the documents.
- Edited config.php to use a valid user on the new system (root) - hey, it's just a test...
