Migrating 1.7.x (MySQL 4.x) to new clean 1.8.3 (MySQL 5.x)?

Post by hamdodger »

I am trying to plan out a migration from a current My SQL 4.x backend Testlink 1.7.3 server, to a new cleanly installed 1.8.3 TestLink server running MySQL 5.x.

Is there any documentation outlining the steps, in detail, for what's needed in order to perform this migration, including the database backup/restore and moving my custom configuration settings?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

You should use scripts to migrate data and DB schema. So there is just a little required to do manually. All should be described in Installation manual.
Configuration differs and there is no detailed conversion table. You should go through your custom configuration and fit to new parameters one by one.
