UBBthreads 7.7.5 Upgrade status report - 02/10/22 03:36 PM
Greetings . . .
I have been planning the upgrade of these forums for some time now. I opened a thread over at UBBCentral (regarding strategy)
https://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthr...tegy#Post265095
late last year.
The folks over there have suggested that the upgrade is a piece of cake. Decades of professional systems work leaves me skeptical – and ever cognizant of the old adage: everything is easy when you are not doing the work.
Based on recommendations in that thread, I have cloned the forums into a testing area. The cloning process had a few twists and turns and surprises - but the test site is now up and running. I have also deployed and run the recommended requirements test from the UBBwiki:
https://ubbwiki.com/archive/view/61/ubb-threads-system-requirements-test-20210801.html
The result is a laundry list of changes to some configuration settings prior to attempting the upgrade. I am working through those now.
I plan to test the upgrade this month on the clone. I will report with results – including a timeline for upgrading the live site and what sort of outage window (down time) we should expect.
