Hi!
The company that I work for is running Mantis for almost 14 years (yes, since 2005...), and they are still using the 1.0.5 release.
What would be the best approach in order to upgrade to the latest and greatest release?
Thanks.
Regards.
Upgrade from 1.0.5

Re: Upgrade from 1.0.5
Suggest to try it on a test system.
You can try to go straight to version 2.
If that fails, would try a 3 step approach
first to 1.10
next to 1.20
finally to 2.x

Re: Upgrade from 1.0.5
Where can I find the 1.10 build? I'm trying the same thing from 1.0.8 but I also have the added twist that some table varchar columns were expanded to a larger size than what the install script has.
For example the bug_history_table field_name column is varchar (64) per the script but we have ours at varchar(255). Is there a php file that has this info? I'd like to modify it so the install/upgrade script doesn't crap out on the second table due to truncation in a column.
Also, do you have a script that converts the datetime columns to int?
These seem to be my main sticking points in trying to upgrade from our version that's ancient.
Using MySQL 8.x, IIS 10, php 7.2.

Re: Upgrade from 1.0.5
Did you try a direct upgrade using standard mantis?
