I work for a school system. We have been running LimeSurvey for about 4 or 5 years. We just do 1 survey a year for graduated students.
I had a LAMP/MAMP server on an old server and it is basically having hardware failure.
I got an sql dump from the server.
It was LimeSurvey version 2.00+.
My Question:
What LimeSurvey version should I use on the new MAMP/LAMP install to be compatible with my 2.00+ sql dump ?
Or do I need to find and install LimeSurvey 2.00+?
And or opinions on which is the best version to use, assuming my 2.00+ sql dump will work, if/when I can get phpmyadmin to import it into the new server?
I would try with LS 2.06 first, at the moment. keep the original dump save, so you can always give it another try with another version, if this fails.
But generally, I don't see a problem to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.06. I wouldn't go for 2.00+, it is quite old already and there have been quite a lot of useful improvements, in my opinion.
Help us to help you!
Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
