Upgrade OJS-DB from very old version?

Thanks for helping!
I have tried a lot:

  • run OJS 2.2.2 with PHP5.6 this works, if I do no new Install. If I try to run Install a lot of errors are shown.
  • apply the OJS-patch to the OJS 2.2.2 files on my lokal harddisk. But patch.exe (Windows) would not do anything. (I reformatted the patch with \r\n for Windows)
  • copy OJS 2.4.8 over 2.2.2. But due to PHP5.6 OJS-Install runs in error.
  • installed OJS 3.0.2 with new DB. That runs fine :slight_smile:
  • import OJS2.2.2 xml-Issues to OJS 3.0.2 but that is not possible see: Import XML
  • now we think, we have to go the long way: Apache with PHP4.x in a sandbox and step for step upgrading.
    It could be easier…
