Converting database from 1.10.2 to 2.4.2

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi everyone.

I use bluehost.com to host my sites. I just used their simple scripts to install 2.4.2 over 1.10.2, and the script created a new database with a different name.

I've tried exporting the old database in SQL format, and then importing it into the new database, but I keep getting an SQL exceeded 3000 second execution time limit error.

When I try to do the export and import at the table level, I keep getting different record lengths SQL errors.

Is there a script or something that will load the data from the old db to the new db?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi dadepfan,

I can't look into the exact configuration but you can simply run the B2evo install script from /blogs/install/. Point to the old database and do an upgrade.
You want to change some entries in the file /conf/_basic_config.php before you start. You can change the database name there and you want to set $config_is_done to 0 (zero).

Good luck
