MyBB Community Forums

Hello mates,
I want to install 1.8.0 on my site cleanly and import current 1.6 version's database to it. Which database tables are required (or enough) to do this with no loss of posts, threads, users and other most important stuff (if there are)?
Thanks a lot.

You need to put all files into your mybb 1.6 script.
Later use url: http://YourDomain/install/upgrade.php
Upgrade will be automated.

I think you didn't get the point. I want to install a clean 1.8 version, then import the database. Im asking, which tables i must import to not to loss any data (posts, threads, members and forums and the other important stuff that i don't know).

You cannot manually import some tables from script 1.6 into new script 1.8.
If you will uninstall all plugins on old wersion MyBB go to upgrade.php in mybb 1.8 and you will be have a clean 1.8 with all post,threads, users stuff as i said before.
Option upgrade.php don't clear all data in your database

I can update once to get 1.8 database and delete it, i just want my forum clean, because i dont want to bother with deleting un-used files in ftp, instead i can backup important things and import them.

I see. go to phpMyAdmin and look for tables.

This tables can be imported after clean install script mybb 1.8
After you did import tables do not forget rebuild all settings in ACP.
if I forgot any other table please attach.

This was the answer i wanted, thanks (i will mark thread as solved when i complete proccess successfully)

You can't import data from a MyBB 1.6 forum into a MyBB 1.8 forum as the database structure has been changed considerably. The only way to update your forum is running the upgrade script (which has over 2500 lines of code to do that!).
