Migrating from 7.6 vanilla -> rwsRavenNuke76_v2.02.00

Hi all,
My site was seriuosly hacked (DB and filesystem) last week. I was running 7.2 and phpBB 2.0.17.

My hosting provider restored my DB and filesystem to my 7.2 version before the hack....

I'm in the process of upgrading my site to 7.6 which I downloaded from the phpNuke official site.

I then want to migrate this 7.6 to RavenNuke - is there a migration guide anywhere?

I want to keep all my exisiting DB data, it's not a new install.

All the install instructions are new RavenNuke installs, not how to migrate an existing install with user data - maybe I'm missing something - I just can't find this info.

Also - I see RavenNuke has 2.0.19 phpBB - do I need to do anything special for the phpBB migrate to work (without losing my posts in the forums) ?

Sorry - if this has all been asked before !!!

Search for a post related to downgrading from 7.8 to this version of RavenNuke, but it addresses what tables to update and which to not. Generally, you get a warning message during the SQL install. My understanding is that you should just skip the option to install the Nuke core tables.

Thanks !

I assume you mean this post:

I've just upgraded to 7.6 (from 7.3) so I'm getting my Hoster to backup Filesystem and DB before I start the migration.
