How to restore 3.3 database?

timcoysh · January 24

I have an old 3.3 database backup that I want to use. I can't find any downloads for vanilla 3.x so was wondering what the best steps are to get this working?

Install a newer version and try migrating the database. If you really need Vanilla 3.x, check GitHub or archive sites for older releases. You can also look into database development services if you need professional help with the migration. Make sure your PHP and MySQL versions are compatible to avoid issues.

Hey timcoysh,

You might find old Vanilla 3.x versions on GitHub or using archive.org’s Wayback Machine to track down downloads. Installing a newer Vanilla version and migrating your database is usually the easiest approach, just make sure your PHP and MySQL versions are compatible. If needed, setting up an older local environment to restore the database first can help with migration. Hopefully, that points you in the right direction!
