Hi Alec
Thank you so much for the help that you gave.
i have managed to get hold of the database and both the private folder + Public folder. i added them both to the same version newly downloaded ojs 2.3.3.3 and added the database in mysql. It all opened and works great. Next i wanted to update the site and database with the patch and php tools/upgrade.php upgrade. The Patch is successfully applied but when i attempt to run the upgrade. I get as far as i have pasted below. When i go to (index.php/journal/about/aboutThisPublishingSystem) Then i see “This site uses Open Journal Systems 2.3.3.3”.
Any advice as to what i can do next to get the database updated to the latest version? i do have
a backup of everything so i can run it again. is there a way i can get more info that can be useful?

Also when i run “tools/upgrade.php patch” i get this message
Code version: 2.4.6.0
Database version: 2.3.3.3
Latest version: 2.4.6.0
Database version is older than code version
Run “tools/upgrade.php upgrade” to update
Thanks so much for the help so far.
Kind Regards

Hi Marten,
None of the import/export tools in OJS will capture everything.
What you want to do is get…a database dump (e.g. through phpMyAdmin)
an archive of the contents of the files directory (this is configured in
the config.inc.php configuration file, and is where all the submission
documents are stored) An archive of the “public” files directory (this is where CSS and certain other files are stored) If there are any modifications to the system you want to preserve, an archive of the code
Move all these contents to the new server, then follow the instructions in docs/UPGRADE to update the code to a new version.
