Question Move K1.7 from J1.5.23 to J.1.7

Hi,

I have a site in J1.5.23 version and I want to upgrade it to J1.7.
In this site there is a live forum with Kunena 1.7
How can I move the forum to the new site with all data?
Thanks,

Denis

Hi,

I know how to upgrade from J1.5 to J1.7.
I don't know how to move the forum from one installation to the other.
Thanks,

Denis

Hello,

You need to export all tables nammed kunena_* and data that you have in /media/kunena/*, then you can just launch kunena installation

Thanks for the reply.

That's the easy part.

The difficult part is to migrate the users in a way so they have the same id! Otherwise I will have problems with the forum posts etc.

I'm running into a similar problem. I had an old Joomla 1.0 site with Kunena installed that I'm bringing up to Joomla 1.7. Here are the steps I've taken:

1. Install brand new Joomla 1.5 site
2. Migrate data from old Joomla 1.0 site to new 1.5 site
3. Upgrade Joomla 1.5 site to Joomla 1.7 site
4. Copy Kunena database tables (fb_) from old Joomla 1.0 site to new Joomla 1.7 site
5. Install Kunena on 1.7 site

Everything goes perfectly until I get to that last step. There is no migrate option displayed on the screen (just an "Install Kunena 1.7 option" that is not selectable, and an "Install Kunena 1.6" option that is selectable - screenshot attached). If I exit out of the installer, the forum is offline with no way (that I can see) to put it online. If I continue with the only option in the installer (install Kunena 1.6) it does appear to take me to Kunena 1.7, but with virgin forum data. If I try to copy over the old forum tables, I get a mysql error.

I've searched for migration instructions, and haven't found any that are working for me. Are me doing something stupid?
