I lost the ability to log into the old version of AG 2.3.1 and so it's useless.

What can I do to transfer all the old entries from a previous installation (which is still there in a different folder) to a new installation of the most recent version?

Thanks,
Erik]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21309.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21309.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21311.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21311.php GMT
The root path to the old database is different than the root path to all the templates, etc. of the new guestbook. If I change the path in the config.inc.php file (from the admin folder) toward the old database...the old messages show up in the new book, but then the feature that allows people to enter a code (such as "f2pgh" or something like that) to post new entries doesn't show up. I also get header alerts at the top of the control panel in the administration area.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21313.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21313.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21315.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21315.php GMT

So then I copy the Misc folder to the old version installation...and tried running the script. NOthing happened.

Line by line, what info should I be copying from the old config.inc.php to the new version config file? Obviously I'm not copying the right lines, or it should work as you say...]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21322.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21322.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21323.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21323.php GMT

What needs to change in the new file? The database name is the same...

thanks for your patience, btw...]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21324.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21324.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21325.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5869/21325.php GMT
It wouldn't read the datafiles for the guestbook or the private messages in the OLD database until I removed the prefix "gb" from "book_data" and "book_private" from the new config file.

That works now...but I'm getting weird header alert messages appearing above the top of my administration area control panel... Nothing's perfect, I guess.
