That worked fine. Perhaps those scripts should be mentioned in the documentation?

All I had to do was:

1) Install the latest OTRS per documention 2) Delete the database it installed 3) Import a backup of my old OTRS database 4) Run the upgrade scripts in order 5) Start using OTRS 2.2.5

The UPGRADING file in the OTRS distribution mentions you have to run these scripts. Nils Breunese.

Hello We've been happily using OTRS 1.2.3 for a couple or three years now. Lovely. Thank you! The Big Question is: How do I go about upgrading to the latest ITIL-oriented version of OTRS? I'm hoping it's not very difficult. As it's very much live, I'd like to run a system in parallel before switching over. Ideally.
