Transfer Database from D6 to D7

How to transfer old database from D6 to D7?

Please help!!!

Thank

You have to use the migration module.

Now thats opening up a whole new can of worms. There is a migration module in D7 that will allow you to migrate your current 6.1.6 version to D7. I would suggest looking through the tons of forum posts regarding Migrations to help you along.

Here is a quick overview:

1. Install Dolphin 7.0 to the same server as Dolphin 6.1.6, so migration script would be able to get data from it.
2. Your Dolphin 6.1.6 site will stay put, so you can play it a few times, no sweat.
3. You can only migrate from 6.1.6 (6.1.5 could play ball too, but we haven't checked).
4. Dolphin 7 installation must be a "clean install" with all the modules installed (those you're using at 6.1.6 at least).
5. Start from "Profiles" first, then go on with the rest of the data.
6. Migration is a "cron job" thing, so cron jobs have to be properly configured.

"You can only migrate from 6.1.6 (6.1.5 could play ball too, but we haven't checked)."

well i just did an upgrade from 6.1.4 to see what would happen just for the hell of it  and it worked just fine to d7 rc3....

Also make sure that your database user names are the same.

This does not matter since the migration script will call the header.inc.php file for the old installation and use the credentials for the D6 site.
