Re: Migrating from Frog 0.9.5. to Wolf CMS 0.5.5

Is it possible to migrate directly from Frog 0.9.5 to Wolf 0.6?
Is there something to bear in mind or can I follow the instructions for Wolf 0.5.5?

Thumbs up

Today I've upgrade a website from Frog 0.9.5 to Wolf 0.6.
Disable all non-core plugins and make a backup of the existing database.
After that you'll need to add the following to the existing Frog database:

- Add a field to the 'user' table;
    language varchar(40) default NULL

- Add a table called 'cron';
    CREATE TABLE cron (
        id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
        lastrun text,
        PRIMARY KEY  (id)) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Read the updating.txt file in the docs folder, its explained there.
I've found no problems with the transfer myself, my suggestion:
test is locally using WAMPP/XAMPP or some other Apache/PHP/MySQL package.

But whatever path you choose:
just plan it carefully and make backups before starting the transfer!
