Forum Forum restore and upgrade question
 

Hi, Now that I have installed a test/generic v4 vBulleting I can start looking at the task I have and could use some high level guidance on what to do. I inherited an internal forum that was running version 3.? and was given an SQL dump from teh forum and told to go host it somewhere else as the server it was on is gone.

So, I got a new VM and installed (with help from here) PHP, MySQL, and vBulletin 4.4 20 and it works as a test at least. I figure my next step is to restore the SQL db but do I do that to a new database or could I just do that to the db I setup when I installed the test Vbulleting v4 board?

Also, since I don't know what exact version of vBulleting (other than it was v3) what upgrade script process should I use?

Thanks for all you help.
