Xenforo Upgrade

[Scott Greczkowski]

Databases copied to backup server.

Database restored to backup server now in progress. (This will take awhile)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still importing the database to the backup server. Hopefully it is done soon.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Backup site has been successfully restored and is online for staff access.

Now removing the addons from here.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Started with 82 Addons installed.

Down to 71 now. They take awhile to uninstall, which tells me they use a lot of database.

I am not removing the major addons yet. I want to remove the minor ones first then backup the database again just in case removing a major one causes database issues.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Read a tip at Xenforo, that removing styles helps speed up the removal of addons.

So now I am removing a lot of styles (many we never even used) Hopefully this will help speed things up more.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Things are moving along... wish they were moving along fast... but they are moving along.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Down to the last 15 AddOn's.

These are the big ones.

Fingers crossed!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Last one being uninstalled now.

Then database dump with no addons.....

Then uploading the Xen 2 files!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok we are updated!

I am going to open up the site Welcome back.

Remember nothing has been configured or addins installed.... I am still working on the system. I would rather have the site open to use while I am working instead of keeping it down as I work. The site IS usable, just not everything is here yet.

In addition as I mentioned before just one style for the moment. But give me time and we will get it going with other styles.

Thanks for being here!

Now the fun part... can't install addon's because I need to upgrade all the directory permissions...

Working on that now.

Personal opinion- initial appearance looks cheap compared to before. Looking forward to what styles you will be adding. So far navigating around seems perfect.

This is where the choice of operating systems comes to bear.

Ok, this is different. Not bad, just different.

 

[rvvaquero]

Looks good, works good.

Don't worry we will have a dark. (I already purchased it)

Thank-you! I too was very surprised so low a percentage used it. Come over to the dark side.........

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The search engine is now being reindexed. This will take a few hours.

I will keep working on things as its reindexing, but if you try to search and it does not find anything, well now... you know the reason.

A bit different but I'm managing!
