How can I get old versions of JForum?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

There is only a sql server 2000 on my server mechine.
I tryed 2.1.8 but failed because the sql file is for sql server 2005.

I think I should try old versions?

2.1.8 was the first version to "officially" support MS SQL. The main problem with MS SQL is that it doesn't support LIMIT and OFFSET SQL directives and these are used a lot by jForum. 2005 has better support for this, so that's why the "official" release uses this.

However, there is a "unofficial" but production ready (e.g. I use it for my sites) alternative for version 2.1.6. This is based on the Torque package ( http://db.apache.org/torque ) and supports MS SQL 7.0, 2000, etc. (FWIW, I'm one of the committers for the Torque project).

Everything that is needed is available from:

http://people.apache.org/~gmonroe/jforum/

See the Readme.html file to get started.
