Can you please help with some guidance?

Hi Arny,

wow - long time since I migrated.

1. backup everything - MySQL databases and application
2. install the new app.
3. during installation point the app at the existing installation - it should upgrade to the current level.
4. remember to do all of this on separate copy from your production one!

5.. report back here!

Hi Russ,

many thanks. Sorry, but i don't understand that much.

I am migrating CATS (not upgrading) from one OS/HW to another. So what i understood how to do this is:

- Migrate DB
- Migrate attachment folders

This shoudl be more or less all - or not? What about custom fields in CATS - will they be migrated as well?

Many thanks!
