Hi everyone,
My current server is malfunctioning, so I have to rapidly upgrade my XenForo 1.5.12 to a new fully managed Alma Linux 9 server. We're in hot water and need to move quickly.
What is the best way to make this upgrade?
The old server runs PHP 5.5, and I don't think we can upgrade it. The new server can't run PHP versions earlier than 8. This makes everything much more challenging.
I'm thinking that we'll upgrade on the old server to 1.5.24 and then copy everything to the new server, where we then upgrade to 2.3.7.
Our goal is just to get a functioning forum up and running on the new server. Later on, we can find extensions and theme updates to reproduce the functionality we have with the old server.
