Hi,

I am migrating MyBB from one server to another. Is Merge the wrong tool for this? The old system has MyBB version 1.8, a few years old, and I have installed the latest version on the new server.

When I try to run merge, I get:

Fatal error: Class 'AbstractPdoDbDriver' not found in /var/www/html/mybb/inc/db_mysql_pdo.php on line 11

I have tried a few tricks, but nothing that really fixed it.

Am I barking up the wrong tree and I should move this forum in the different way?

Thanks,
Henrik

You don't need to use the merge system to move hosts, you just need to copy over your files and import a database backup. Using the merge system would require the old database to be on the new server anyway. Once the files are uploaded and a database backup has been imported, you will just need to edit your database details in ./inc/config.php to be the new details.

Thanks, worked and a lot easier.
