SID-01613: Steps of Upgrade from 4.1.2 to 5.1.3

Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:		Last update:	13 years ago

Hi all,

I follow the latest upgrade guide, using backuprestore plugin to backup my 4.1.2 site and restore on new 5.1.3 site.

In this process it mentions plugin and skin, I am not very understood.

For plugin, I find several of them are not in the plugin list, then I manually download them and upload. (I am not sure they will work well on 5.1.3. For example, natskin!!)

For skin, I think it maybe the templates? After restore the backup on new site, I can not see the same page as I had in old site. So I guess I need copy /templates from old to new site. Then leftbar and topbar are broken, they display some code like "%IFSKINSTATETHEN{searchbox="pos[123]"}%".

And, in old site there are some attachments, in list it will show who create this attachment, now in new site, it display as unKnowUser. But users' txt and .htpasswd are already in the right place. Also, when I go to usergroup topic, one special group is empty, which should have lots of user. Shall I add users in group manually?

How can I fix these issues?

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers, Mcwolf
