The upgrade from Alpha 4 to Beta 1 has failed but I'd still like to go to the beta. Is there any way to install the beta fresh and then import the albums from the alpha, preferably with the number of views data intact? |

we don't have any tools to import data from a broken install into a working one, sorry.

Would it be possible to take the albums folder from my old alpha 4 install and copy it to a fresh beta 1 install and overwrite the database (or any part thereof) with the parts from my alpha4 install.
Sorry for all the dumb questions, I'd just really like to try out the new beta as the alpha has quite a few bugs but I'd really like to take across the number of views data etc and the upgrade fails and I haven't been able to find away past it apart from going to my backup.

do you have a backup you can restore to get your alpha-4 install working? if so, do that, then get the current nightly snapshot and try the upgrade again.. this is by far the easiest solution if you have that backup.
