Thanks David, you've been very kind to help me. This gives me some idea

to do now that I figured out a way to recover the old server.
Probably anathema, certainly 1-2 hours of work if you have a server
sandbox, set up a "no-frills" 3.6 Koha and verify that the various
"frameworks" are what you need. Restore your mysql dump, and the scripts
will convert the db to a standard that future script versions will
recognize. (Note; this is from experience, not from an in-depth knowledge
of db and conversion script deltas.)

Hi Phillip.
I've not upgraded from a pre-3.04 version of Koha before, so can only go
on what is on the wiki/install instructions. Someone else on the list may
be able to confirm, or not, whether this is the correct way..
You would do this after you have loaded the old database into your new
server i.e. you've setup the new version and it is working, delete the
database (or rename), load in the database dump from your old version.
I think the script is run after you have accessed the administration site
(the intranet) for the first time, as it needs to run some other database
updates.
The instructions mentioned are here:
http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL;hb=HEAD
It also looks like there is a handy script to do this for you when you
have installed by packages - koha-upgrade-to-3.4 . See:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Upgrade_Instructions
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages#koha-upgrade-to-3.4

David,
I'm new to Koha and to the Koha site so I can't seem to find the
instructions from 3.0 to 3.4. My question would be how I would do
these steps.
One question I have is should I load the old database into the new version
and then run the steps in 101 and 102 or do I do this before I export the
database?
Could you send me the link to the instructions that you found below?

Hi Phillip.
I think I've figured out what's up. I managed to determine that the Koha
database is from Koha version 3.00.00.107 and the version that I've
installed by default is 3.14.00.000. This means that the database is
extremely out of date and can not be "imported" without transforming some
of the data.
From the manual installation instructions when updating from a 3.0-3.3 to
version 3.4 or later:
96 Koha 3.4.x or later no longer stores items in biblio records.
97 If you are upgrading from an older version ou will need to do the
98 following two steps, they can take a long time (several hours) to
99 complete for large databases

102 misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r
