    I am finally getting around to upgradeing from 2.3.5 Pro.

    Alex, can you providea check list for a flawless upgrade?

    I have about 8,000 active members in ver 2.3.5

    Here are some assumptions:

    1. Backup all files, especially custom templates & emails (can they be reused in 3.0.6?).
    2. Backup MySQL database using PHPMyAdmin, NOT a Member db backup.
    2a. Do I use the default export settings? structure & data, full inserts???
    data only ????
    3. I will have to start with a fresh install of 3.0.6, right?
    4. Can I use the database that was on one domain (xvy.com) and install in on a new domain (abc.com)?

    A nice checklist for upgrading might be handy...does one already exist?

    I'd rather do this myself, with guidance from above... (alex)...
    :)

    Of course, in PhpMyAdmin export, backup structure and data.

    To install into different domain, you need a license key for it. Contact support via helpdesk, if you are planning to change domain.
