Can I point new site at old database?

Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2007 4:48 pm

OK.

I have two sites and two databases.
1 is Nuke 8.1 and is being used....
8.1 is not working for me so I've gone for RN a fresh installation, its a hell of a lots better thanks Raven Smile

I want to keep the tables from the old site logins forums ect...
could I just change the config.php on the RN site to look at the 8.1 DB
then close the 8.1 site down.
would this work

or will i have to try to impost the tables that I need into the DB I cave created..

If so is there a tutorial Very Happy

Hey Raven I went to Kansas Missouri a few year ago and went out on manoeuvres with 139Regiment Kansas Own.. Cool brunch of guys who looked after this Englishman Very Happy

If you're ever back this way give me a shout. I live on the Kansas side just 15 minutes from Missouri state line.

Look at the Docs in HowToInstall/index.php and select the Upgrade option. That should assist you with what you need.
