Another Licensing Issue

tobiasmoran posted 2nd of April 2008 in Community Voice. 2 comments.
I inherited from what I can tell, a poorly implemented deployment of Dolphin and Ray. My predecessor apparently installed the ad-free Ray version which there are no licenses for. I have come accross several posts regarding this issue and have tried to replace the modules with the free versions. Unfortunatly, when I do, the website no longer functions. Since I cant find any documention on the configuration files i need to keep when changing modules, I need some help from ya'll.

So heres what I need:

Instructions for removing the current version of Ray without causing the site itself to go down.

Location of the configured files needed to redeploy the site should i need to remove/reinstall Dolphin/Ray

version numbers?
it dont help much without knowing what versions of
Dolphin
and
Ray
you have.

also if you have "inherited a poorly implemented deployment of Dolphin" it, then it might have script changes that are also messed up. it might be worth while starting all over with a fresh install of dolphin.

a word of caution on this, you need to be 100% sure what version you have and install that same version, or you'll not be able to import the Database, as with each upgrade, the see more Database is also upgraded, so most times it would fail to import without a lot of work.

the other problem with this is that there are a lot of media files to save and import too, as well as profile pics, profile background pics, the list is endless

Sammie, Thanks for the response.

My current plan is to load up the lastest version into a dev site and get everything working there fist. But the dev site will not have the user information. This is why i need the location of all the custom information so it can be ported into the dev site. If you telling me I cannot restore DB info into a site of a different version, then there is a fundamental design issue. Extracting data from an older version of a DB and importing into a new DB has been a see more basic DB operation for a long time.

As for the version itself, I havent been able to find a link for previous versions so if there is one, please supply it.

Thanks
