Version .sql dump compatability was created by dano
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?

Thanks for any information or input,
dano

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.

For (highly recommended) 2.06 LTS:

*MySQL 4.1.0 or later OR Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later OR Postgres 8.1 or later
*PHP 5.3.3 or later with the following modules/libraries enabled:
*mbstring (Multibyte String Functions) extension library (see also Installation FAQ(external link))
*PDO database driver for MySQL (pdo_mysql or pdo_mysqli) or Postgres (pdo_pgsql) or MSSQL (pdo_sqlsrv)
