Bit of multitasking going on there
^ Yeah, part of a server move, figured I'd get the upgrade over with as well.
No.
But I haven't had to move between servers

I had even run phpBB on three hosts using the same database
BTW, in what file is the database information stored?
yes its the same as doing mybb 1.2 u just move over the files and then the database ?
you dont even need to change any of the files if you keep the database and passwords the same ?

As long as you change the board URL and cookie settings if needed in the ACP before the move, and the database information is exactly the same, then no, you shouldn't need to edit any files.
I never had so many replies to one of my threads
Yes, done myBB server moves numerous times. Pretty easy if you have the needed files and SQL dump.
No, I haven't really had to. For the most part if I do have to change its just a fresh install then recreation of the forum or I just copy the forum lists from the .sql file.
I've done it twice with 1.4 forums with no problems
