Upgrading site - information!

[Coder]

A few weeks ago I set up my site with vanilla IMPortal (latest version) downloaded from this site. Now I've had a change of heart and want to go with IntegraMOD 141. I downloaded the package and am currently wrestling with moving my users and posts across to the new site.

I encountered a problem with the instructions for the database upgrade package:

Code: Select all

Step 3.  Upload the install folder from this update package and visit db_update_to_141.php with your browser.The .script must be run from the install folder.  eg. [url=http]http://www.yoursite.com/subfolder/insta ... to_141.php[/url]

This is very clearly written, and easy to understand, but I made a mistake following these simple instructions line by line!

This resulted in the error "I am sorry, but your database type is not supported" ... if you should get one of these, don't panic, read the rest of the instructions first, and put the file in the forum/install folder not the forum folder!!!

Just a suggestion - could the instructions be rewritten to put this minor vital step in front of "and visit db_update_to_141.php with your browser." so that other eager beavers like myself don't make the same mistake? <img>
