De.scription and Message

Hello,

I have a 1.4.0 board that was hacked, I thought this would be a good time to upgrade.

My old board a had several MOD's added the Auction Mod and Activity Mod at least these are the two biggest that come to mind.

I have a database backup prior to the hack. Can I use myphpadmin to import the data from 1.4.0 into 1.4.1 or do I need to copy structure too?

Can I restore that database directly in to the virgin setup of 1.4.1 ?

Regards,
Mike Sullivan

Hi

I would upload your 1.4.0 back up database and check everything is ok then upgrade to 1.4.1 as described in the install package....

It shouldn't be a problem but fi you are like me you would use a copy of your board and test it there first....

I hope that helps...

I agree with found it, I had a similar incident, although I wasn't lucky enough to have a full backup prior to going to 141, but I suggest you do upgrade asap <img>
