Thanks Chris! I don't believe any customizations to the .pl files would have been done. Is there a way to determine that?
I have a database dump from 3.1.0 restored on the 3.6.4 box. That's all I've done so far. I also have a copy of all the files in all the folders, but I haven't done anything with them yet. The instance on the 3.1.0 is called "biblioteka". I restored the database of the same name on the 3.6.4 server. I tried running a koha-upgrade-schema biblioteka but it returned an error like it can't find the "koha-conf.xml" file. Should I restore the /etc/koha/ folder to /etc/koha/sites/biblioteka? Is that what you referred to as an import? I think on the old server it was installed as a single instance but on the new server I'd like to have a test instance available if we want to try things out first. Thanks again for the help!
