MySQL Version & Server Migration

[Live Free]

I'm migrating a 1.5.24 board to a new server.

Old server has MySQL 5.6.41 and PHP 5.6.29.

New server has MySQL 5.7.33 and PHP 7.3.27.

Can I do a direct database restore, or do I need to upgrade MySQL on the old server to 5.7.33 first before restoring the database on the new server?

My understanding is PHP 7.3.x is okay for 1.5.24?

Thanks for any assistance.

The mysql version is irrelevant.

However, you will need to confirm the version of XF you were running and any add-ons are compatible with the newer PHP version.

XF 1.5.24 is compatible with PHP 7.3.

Thanks Brogan.

When you say XF 1.5.24 is compatible with PHP 7.3, would that apply to 7.3.27, or only 7.3(.0)?

XF 1.5.24 was released 29 May 2019 so it will be compatible with PHP versions released before that date.
