I've been having more issues trying to upgrade than a fresh install.

Can I do a fresh install and just use the old database for it?

If possible, how do I connect the database to the new install? Will the old database work in the "step 1" of the install process?

I'm using phpmyadmin, i was able to import the tables onto the database but how do i place the contents of the old tables into the new tables (old_links to new_links table for eg., can I just delete "new_links" table and rename "old_links" to "new_links"?

Thanks

From which version of Pligg you have to switch to latest one..?
If the versions are slightly differ then it picks up. But I don't know the tables used in the oldest versions before plig9.0..

I am upgrading from a late version 7 or 8 of Pligg.

There are 11 tables on my current old pligg install, the version 9.1 has 14 tables.

How can I get Pligg 9.1 to pick-up on the older pligg tables?

I don't see any changes between the two versions except Pligg 9.1 has 3 more tables.

Is renaming the tables good enough?
