[SOLVED]Upgrade to 141 - All Posts and Forums gone?

Your phpBB Version: 2.0.22
phpBB Type: Integramod 141
MODs: No
Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge
Board URL: [url]http://[/url]
PHP Version:
MySQL Version:
What was done before the problem appeared?
Exported PHPBB 2.0.17 DB
Imported 2.0.17DB data into new Database
Copied /forum/ -> into a new folder
After configuring new DB to point to new folder with proper cookie settings, a successful test forum was complete and working 100%.
What was done to try to solve the problem?
Nothing yet. Need advice
De.scription and Message
So after getting the existing forum successfully relaunched into a test environment, I proceeded with:
Rename testfolder/forum/ to testfolder/forumbackup
Made new folder testfolder/forum
Uploaded IM141
Set all CHMOD permissions
Uploaded itestfolder/forum/install/phpbb_to_im141.php
Ran file. Got many errors related to existing tables for existing MODS already installed. Ignored as it said to.
Once completed, the only thing I have on the site is
Test Category 1
-- Test Forum 1
Says there are 1 topic with 2 posts. When I click on the topic, I actually get several posts from my old ANNOUNCEMENTS forum that existed as forum ID=1
My question, by making a fresh /forum/ folder instead of uploading overtop the existing one, did this cause the issue? Or did the upgrade just not work correctly?
I can easily delete the new /forum then rename /forumbackup to forum and reupload the files.
