[QUOTE][u]Quote by: worldfooty[/u][p]Hi,

My host wanted to move me to a new server and in the process I'm trying to upgrade to GL1.8 before jumping to 2.0

In the install procedure I've chosen the Migrate option and the first line says:

[i]Be sure any previously installed plugins have been copied to your new server.[/i]

Exactly what does it want me to do?  I've grabbed the latest zip files of the plugins I use: mediagallery, captcha, youtube, socialmedia, do I need to install them all first before proceeding?

And if I chose to follow through the Migration (I've got the new server, I've created an empty database and I've decided to import my old db first *, and I've unpacked GL1.8) will I get messed up if I do NOT do anything about my plugins first?  Can I just install them afresh once I have GL fully installed or will that trash anything the plugins previously needed to add to my db?

* I'm a bit nervous that my db and user have different names to the old server, hopefully if I import it manually and enter the new names in the Migration screen everything will work.[/p][/QUOTE]
