Sater Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi,I'm using 2.1.7, although have active licensing for IPB.My 2.1.7 is not Unicode and it's not English forum.What should be the upgrade path to get to 4.0? I've tried to use 4.0 on top of 2.1.7, but seems it's not supported.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted November 17, 2014 Management Share Posted November 17, 2014 You would need to upgrade to 3.4.7 first. The 4.0 upgrade libraries do not go back that far. Rhett and AndyF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do I need to do that? (If I need to do it by myself at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Upgrade to 3.4.7, then 4.0, the utf8 converter is built into 4.0. (No need to do that as an extra step. ) Soniceffect and Sater 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Just a sidenote before (if you've not already done the upgrade) decide if you want to keep either avatars or profile pictures as there's only one image per member in later 3x versions compared to 2x. Full backup recommended then simply as indicated upgrade to 347 then if you wanted to, upgrade to 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sater Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Upgraded to 3.4.7 successfully. But when tried to convert to utf8 as first step to upgrade to 4.0 B2 - all text dissapeared.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soniceffect Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Im assuming this was a test database you were trying to upgrade and not your live one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sater Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Im assuming this was a test database you were trying to upgrade and not your live one? Of course. What's strange, I was not able to reproduce. On next try it looks it was translated good, but another issue appeared - I opened a bug for this.
