I have a copy of JForum 2.1.4, but can't find the instruction for upgrading 2.0.2 to 2.1.4.
I tried to install 2.1.6, then drop the jforum database, restore the running 2.0.2 database, then run a script to modify the database structure from 2.0.2 to 2.1.6 (I write the script by myself by comparing the mysql_db_struct.sql files). But it does not work, no category and forum show up, either in forum index or admin index. But I can see all the users and groups though in admin index view...
I also tried to install 2.1.6, then restore the 2.0.2 database into it, still not working, same problem, no category and forum show up, although I can see all data are imported into the mysql jforum database.
By the way, in your 2.1.4 to 2.1.6 instruction, "merging config file", do you mean modify the 2.1.6 config files according to 2.1.4 config files?
More help please!
