Full Version: Upgrade forum in a different place?

Hello,
I know how to upgrade a forum etc... but thats about where my knowledge ends.
Mine is still on 1.6something because I lack the time to do a proper upgrade.

So I was wondering, is it possible that I install a (uptodate) forum in a different location, get all my plugins on it (if they still work) , and I can tinker with it for a week or more? It would be on the same server.

If it is possible, is this complicated? Can it be a subdir like /newforum?  Also, once I done all that, how to move it to the main url?

Thnx in advance.
It of course is possible and even recommended. Just move all files to that subdirectory, copy the database (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16481...es#tab-top), change database details to the copied one in inc/config.php and then upload upgrade files.
Cheers, I'll give it a go one of the next days
