How to Change site from 7.5 to 7.8
Hey guys first post
Ok i have a site running on nuke 7.5 and i wanted to change its install directory and upgrade it too version 7.8 in the preocess.
Current 7.5 install http://ozwebcity.com/nuke/
New 7.8 install http://ozwebcity.com/owcnuke/
Ok now i have them both up and running and i thought i could just chage the database details in the confile.php file and the new site would be using all the info from the original site.
But when i do this the site loads but is blank.....what am i doing wrong ??
You would need to point the new site to the old database which you said you have already done.
You will then need to look in the zip for a folder called upgrades and upload upgrade75-76, upgrade76-77 and upgrade77-78 and run each of these individually from the new site, until you reach the upgrade77-78, don't skip any or you will break your site.
Before doing any of this make sure you do a complete backup of the database incase something goes wrong
Note: The correct way to upgrade would be to overwrite the original installation.
Didn't work that way and i think i explained it wrong.
on the new nuke install 7.8 which is already patched and installed i want too use all the data from my orginal site which is 7.5 ( http://www.ozwebcity.com original 7.5 site)
Ok i have done fresh install of 7.8 to this directory
http://ozwebcity.com/owcnuke/
And changed the config.php to the first nukes database.
((The 7.8's database was ozwebcit_p_nu2))
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "ozwebcit_p_nu1";
$dbpass = "mypasshere";
$dbname = "ozwebcit_p_nu1";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "removed key((does this site key effect it))";
$gfx_chk = 0;
$subscription_url = "";
But as u can see its loading the site up blank it looks like its loaded but the page is blank/white.
Help
think i've fixed it manually import the table rows that i wanted into the new 7.8 install
Actually you didn't fix it you just masked the problem.
Notice the last thing that nukecode said:

Follow that by running each of the upgraders from your old version to your current one. You'll see what I mean later when I say you just masked the problem.
Also $sitekey = "removed key((does this site key effect it))";
$sitekey: should not be blank.
