Hi,

need some help.
I made a fresh Gmail 2.2.0 install on a new Server, now I can't copy the
old Database (Gmail 2.1.1) files over the new one.How can I import the old Data
into the tables without destroying the new one?

Regards Thomas

Hi,

Upgrade is best bet. To ensure that nothing goes wrong with your live install do a upgrade on test installation of yr live site by doing following:

• Copy the database tables to a new database say test
• Do test install of 2.1.1 with ref to the test databse
• Upgrade to 2.2 the test installation.

If all goes error free then:

• Disable the live site.
• Stop the cron
• upgrade the live installation.
• start the cron
• enable the site.

This is how i proceeded to upgrade from 2.1.0 and it all went error free. That's the best bet.

Thnx

Anup
