old version problems

[Josemsaez]

Hi. Sometime ago I made a cms made simple web site with version 1.2.4.

Now my client told me that they had a problem with the hosting company and moved the domain to a new hosting company.

I could get all the files and directories from the old hosting and also I could get a database backup.

Please can you tell me how can get that web work in the new hosting?

Should I install a 1.2.4 version first and then upgrade to the last version?

Any help is really welcome.

Copy all the files over, edit the config.php to replace URL and path hard-codes, and database login credentials.

Thanks a lot I am going to do that in my local MAPP and then if it works I'll move it to the hosting. Thanks a lot.

OK. More or less everything seems to be working right.

Is it posibble to upgrade from version 1.2.4 to the current version 1.9.4.1?

If so, are there any major changes that I have to take into account?

Thanks a lot.

Great article on an adventure in upgrading from version 0.12 to 1.9.4.1

I would do it on the side.. Don't do this to a live site
