Upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.2.8

[mmatte]

We are planning on upgrading from Mantis 1.0.1 to the latest version (1.2. and maybe converting from PHP to MSSQL 2008. I have a two questions:
1) Can we upgrade directly from 1.0.1 to 1.2.8?
2) Is there anything we should be aware in attempting to convert the database to MSSQL?

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

1) Can we upgrade directly from 1.0.1 to 1.2.8?

Yes, you can. But why 1.2.8? Latest stable version is 1.2.11 at the moment.

2) Is there anything we should be aware in attempting to convert the database to MSSQL?

I don't recommend to migrate to MSSQL, there are various known issues with version 1.2.x, but also users who succeeded in running it.

Search for MSSQL in forum http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/search.p ... ords=mssql
and have a look at some known issues / workarounds

Thank you, we are planning on upgrading to the latest stable version, I just had the incorrect version number noted.
And I will pass the information regarding MSSQL along to our DBA team so then can further evaluate whether or not we want to proceed with converting the database to MSSQL or leave it in My SQL
