Updating ancient install

Hi all,

I need the file structure for IM 1.3.2 SP2. I have an old forum and I only seem to have the SQL for that version. According to the config field, I was last running 1.3.2 SP2.

I would also like to update (provided I have no problems...yeah right) to the latest version. Any help in that area would be appreciated!

Thanks
Kate

I got the file structure and am trying to get even a vanilla version of 1.3.2 working on my XAMPP home server, but I keep getting blank display pages. I even tried running the 1.4.1 update and it's not changing my db, won't display anything but a blank page...

Now I'm thinking it's a version issue. XAMPP uses php5.2.8 and mySQL 5.1.3.

Will IM1.3.2 even work on these versions?

Finally, how do I get this darn mySQL back end to upgrade/update...to anything at this point...where the forums are readable?

Can I move 1.3.2 to phpbb 2.x or 3.x? Something? Anything?? I can't get the forums to come up in any fashion. I want to preserve the posts, KB, users....everything else can go!

132 and 140 will not run on php5. Your xamp should allow you to choose your mysql version. Set it to any flavor of 4.x

you can update to phpBB3.0.4 but you will loose your kb.
To upgrade to IM141, do the upgrade on mysql4.x
Once it is done and looks like you want, change your xamp to mysql5 and be sure it is working correctly before uploading to your site. If you are running CPanel on your website, zip up your files, upload the zip and unzip on your site. This will just ensure that none of your files get corrupted in transit. Rember to set your chmods.
There is a link in the left blocks with all the correct chmods
