...and searching my old email...I found: from : Tomas Cohen Arazi <[email protected]> "I suggest you create an empty instance named the same as the 'old one', so all configuration files are fresh. Then adjust apache and friends, rsync the /var/lib/koha/<instance> dir, load a DB dump and run koha-upgrade-schema <instance>"
This is from a few months ago.... but I'm assuming the information is still valid .... so I think I have answered my own questions. Thanks for reading. -S On Fri, Jun 25, 2021 at 8:35 AM Scott Owen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am in the process of upgrading my Koha instances to a newer version. > > Due to the age of the current version, I am going to have to do a > database dump / restore > > I am following the basic Debian install (at the wiki > https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian ) > and have just installed the mariadb-server.
