Hi Drew,

New version of RT (3.4.4) + database from old version of RT (3.0.0).

We've tried it several different ways...  make install, make upgrade, db 
upgrade scripts...

We haven't yet taken the route of installing RT 3.0.0 on the new server, 
importing the production db from the old server, and then running make 
upgrade to RT 3.4.4 on both the RT install and the database...  is that 
what needs to happen?

Guess I was hoping to be able to bring just the old (3.0.0) database up to 
speed with the new install of 3.4.4 rather than having to install the old 
RT as well.

In this latter scenerio, would it be make install or make upgrade?  It 
wasn't clear to us.

Thanks in advance,
Jennifer
