I have many mods in 6.0005 and it will take a few days to reinstall in 6.1 and test. So I would like to do a "practice upgrade" to a copy of the site using a snapshot of the database, then re-install my mods in 6.1. When tested, I need to shut down current site, reload database from 6.0005 site to 6.1 site, upgrade database, and make 6.1 site the live site.
But it looks like the upgrade script can only be run once. I need an "import" utility to pull 6.0005 database into see more 6.1 database after 6.1 site has all mods installed.
I would think my case is common. Is there a better approach?
About mods ..
Most part of Dolphin code has been re-written, so unfortunately modifications developped for Dolphin 6.0.005 won't be compatible with Dolphin 6.1, but you can merge changes (carefully - do not rewrite original files), and apply mod changes
I encounter the same problem. Installed the 6.1 script from scratch (no upgrade from 6.0005) and now I'm stuck with the database.
What I am going to try is to import tables one by one, every time backing up my DB, so nothing gets lost.
And of course I still have a backup of my 6.00005 DB, so in the worst case I can go back and do the upgrade. Though that I really don't want to do, because I already had a lot of bugs in my database (security problems ?).
Victor told me that see more it's complicated to do it this way, but I'm going to try. If it works, I'm happy. If it doesn't .... I face a lot of work ... again.
