Help upgrading from 1.6.3

superdave8000 · Post by **superdave8000** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 5:21 pm

I have a 1.6.3 install, LAMP-based with MySQL. I see that the current installer includes migration tools, but not for my version.

Can somebody suggest a path that will allow me to upgrade our code and database to 1.8.x?

Thanks in advance!

I notifies only developer of this version about this question.

Consider a downgrade to 1.6.2 version and use official migration script. I don't know this version.

You should be able to upgrade to testlink 1.7 then upgrade to 1.8 from that version. This is the only supported upgrade path for the 1.6.x versions.

Thank s for the info, everyone. I think this sounds fine - I was expecting that a staged upgrade would be best. However, I'm not able to find any versions previous to 1.8.x. Is there somewhere that I can grab the older installers?

BUMP - anyone know where I can download a 1.7.x version to help with the above problems?

I'll have to poke around this weekend and see if I still have a copy.

I'll let you know either way.

Well, after checking all three of my units, I am UNable to find a 1.7.x copy.

I had it several months ago, but I've evidently removed it as 1.8.x progressed.
