Won't that be a bit risky overriding the running server?
BTW, the 'old' 3.6.8 is on a sub-domain and I'd like to install the 3.7.1.
How do I 'move' or copy all the files from the sub-domain into a folder?
.... anyway, if there is another way of transferring the db from old to new is welcome 'cause I have 'bad' cases of upgrading...
Hoxxy, I'll try a dummy folder (instead the running server) 1st before I upgrade the VBulletin.
Good one there, Hoxxy... (you know why?.... because I've been asking myself "what's the use of the upgrade code there?").... now I know
i did the upgrades from 3.6.x to 3.7.1 without any problems, i think if you do what the upgrade says there can't be any damage easily.
my upgrade went smoothly as always
thransferring the files from one folder to another can be done in you control panel or with some ftp client program

I guess I have to try the upgrade thing (with gives me the shivers)....
If I wanted to use the GYSN with keygen.... how is the steps?
Is it chmod all directories (or it ALL file & directories) from 755 to 777? Then use the keygen? Then delete the install/install.php and run install/upgrade.php?
Please guide me the correct steps....

Code:

**** Validator ****
Upload all files in BINARY mode.
Run validator.php before editing files to verify release.
Use online verifier of validator.php file and you will see NFO file.
Remove both files from server after checking and enjoy.
Remember, we include validator.php and checksums.md5 in our releases.
If you don't see these files, don't trust.
Do not modify validator.php.
**** KeyGen ****
Before installation or updating vBulletin you must:
1) Check the release with validator.php to make sure, that it does not
contain any changed files or just use our release without keygen.
2) CHMOD all files 0777 to write the new data in them.
3) Execute keygen.php
4) Remove keygen.php from server after genering and enjoy.
WARNING: DON'T FORGET to return CHMOD back beforå start using your
forum. It's safety requirement!

[/End iNfO aBouT rElEaSe]this is how it has to be done
well, depending on the webhost you use i did not do that. i did upload all files in binary mode by ftp, then i did the keygentrick and all was done succesfull.
so if i were you i should try that first.
when you upgrade i should first upload all files and overwrite the old ones, then change the config.php.new into config php and fill in the details that you used in config.php when running 3.6.8 (make a copy first of the old config.php to easily fill in the right sql db name etc)
then do the standard upgrade method in the browser.

Well.... sumthing funny....
I re-do a copy of the 368 on the 'testsite' and then drop all mst_user* import from the 'mainsite'... ok... and I can get all users (only problem is how do I copy most of the forums? copy mst_forum*?)
Ok, then the upgrade part. I download the GYSN 371 extract all into the same 'testsite'....; only 5-steps...!!!! (install/upgrade.php)
Walllaaaaaaa..... it seems to be ok BUT when I see at the footer it's still 3.6.8.
Anything that I missed?

why are you making this so difficult?
you have a databasedump of a vb forum 3.6.8, well make a new db, import the db dump you have in that empty db, install a vb forum 3.6.8, fill in the right configdetails for connecting vb to the database and your old forum including everything should work now.
then do the upgrades which are available on this forum. just follow the instructions in the packages and there you go.
if you do this the versioninfo will be correct after every upgrade or update.

If you only had five steps to the upgrade, sorry but you screwed something up. Each version of 3.70 have at least five steps and I think there are six of them from 3.6.8 you should be seeing about 10 separate steps in the upgrade with each one of them having multiple steps.
