upgrade from ocPortal 9.0.16?
Standard member
I know, should have updated long ago, but the site is just a help system and our company was "being sold any day now" for the last 18 months. Sure.
Nearest I can tell without being able to launch it, old site is on version 9.0.16, as the "ocportal_quick_installer-9.0.16" file has been downloaded.
Database name is 'ocportal841', which was probably the original version.
Because the low lifes deleted the db (I have a recent backup) I cannot lauch ocPortal even in safe mode, get error "Could not connect to database".
MySql version is 5.6.
If I restore the db file they will probably just hack it again.
At this point, what is the process for upgrading the site to a later version?
This is a production site, so we would appreciate an answer.
Thanks

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
