Hi Jon,<br>
<br>
A quick check leads me to think that it may be worth trying to start
the old install either on new hardware or in a Virtual Machine (eg:
Virtual Box) then use one of the pages found here<br>

Migration</a><br>
to export the site.<br>
<br>
It should then be easy to bring it into the new server. the change
in version should get handled gracefully by the import.<br>
<br>
Most virtualisation platforms like Virtual Box can be configured to
run a guest from a real hard drive, but I would be inclined to copy
the content of your old drive into a virtual disk, then use your
suse boot disk to boot the guest.<br>
<br>
If you think you may want to boot the guest again in the future,
rerun your bootloader config (eg: update-grub) from inside the guest
so you don't need to use the boot disk.<br>
<br>

Hi Jon,<br>
<br>
I've had no personal experience migrating wordpress as you are
right now, but there are currently 522 people logged in to
#wordpress on freenode IRC.<br>
It is a fair bet that you will get good information fairly quickly
from there.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

<div dir="ltr">I'm seeking someone that can walk me through
getting my website back up.<br>
I've had to rebuild the server as the older one died.<br>
I've built this one with Debian 8.2<br>
The old one was running SLESv11<br>
The WordPress on the Debian server is the latest version,
whereas the the version on the older server was running a
version behind this new version.<br>
I have access to the old drive as this is still in good
condition.<br>
Currently, it is attached to an external dock with a USB
connection to the new server.<br>
What I need to know is can I overwrite the new version of WP
with the older version, make some changes in the some of the
configuration files and bring up the old website.<br>
MySQL would probably require some changes in its config files.<br>
I would like to know what are the other files that may require
some changes.<br>
Also from what I've been told I'll have to dump the new
database and import the old database. I'm not sure how this is
done other than using phpmyadmin and doing an export and
import, but what parameters do I need to add to this?<br>
<br>
Also I need to know where is the mysql database stored because
I cannot find it on the old drive.<br id="FontBreak">
