pequeno Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Hello, What IPB3 old folders that are no longer used by IPS4 can be deleted? Is it possible also to do a clean up in the DB after upgrading? Thanks.
MADMAN32395 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 This guide by @Woodsman is nice, and I used it when I upgraded. as for the db. make a backup, then make a test install. compare the two db's and delete what's not there.
russur Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 My way to cleanup "Uploads" folder: 0. Make backup on your HDD! Download "Uploads" folder 1. Create new "storage method" in System - Files - Storage Settings - Configurations. You can create new Directory as example. I use Amazon S3 for it. 2. Change storage method to new for all stuff in "storage settings" (Attachments, ... , Forum Icons, ...) 3. Wait while all necessary files will be move to new destination 4. Delete all non-moved files 5. Change storage method back again What about database, maybe some old tables is present after upgrade but they is not so big. Don`t want "broke my head" delete or not Let it live...
