[Koha] Koha Rebuild and Upgrade - If I only had a brain!

[Phillip Ponchot]

I'm having to build a new koha server and then move koha files over to the new server (which will be an upgraded version). 

My situation is that Koha is tied to the web server and of course most of the data is in the Koha databases.

As I understand, I have to:

1.  Install Koha.
2.  Upgrade Koha.
3.  Dump the Koha Database.
4.  Copy it to a pen drive (the old server is no longer connected to the intranet).
5.  Import the Koha Database

6.  It is my understanding at this point that I have to do something to get the New Koha to recognize the imported database as the format will still be in the old Koha Format.  Can anyway tell me what commands and how to to this?

7.  Also all the web pages are done via Koha (maybe via WordPress).  Does anyone know the procedures to get this back up and working?  

I've got a good feeling about this but I know from technical experience with other programs that doing things in the right steps is crucial.  I do read the instructions but sometimes there are little catches that are not included. 

Thanks for any help and thanks to everyone who replied to my previous post.  

Our Koha is down hard and I'm determined to get it back up and running ASAP.
