backup database 2.1.0 rc-4 and import in fresh install 2.1.1. possible?

I have some troubles with permission and installing/removing extra’s
Now I would like to start clean, I have a multi lingual site running 1000+ resources and extra’s as Babel, phpthumboff etc.

Is it possible to remove 2.1.0 rc-4 and Install a fresh 2.1.1 and then import a database backup from the rc-4

Thanks!

I’m not the expert on this, but since I’m here:

If you export/import your DB, the new install may persist with a lot of the stuff you’re trying to clear away: snippets, chunks, paths, etc are all stored in the DB. So with my rather modest experience, here are the options I know of:

1. You can install 2.1.1 fresh into a new site location, then use Provisioner to just import MODX resources from the old site to the new site, then install the extras you need through Package Management. I’m sure there’s a better way, but this is how I would probably do it. It also gives you the freedom to import (or "Provision") chunks, snippets, etc one-by-one and select just what you want.

2. Selectively export/import only certain DB tables. Haven’t tried this myself but I could see how this may be faster/more accurate/whatever. I’m not as comfortable in phpMyAdmin as I am using Provisioner in the trusty MODX Manager, so again, I’d do #1.

Thanks for your ideas! will think about whats the best to do (after a good sleep don’t want to mess things up.

I would say no as things in the database may have changed and the upgrade would alter it.

Your far better off doing the upgrade on a development server then fixing what goes wrong. The only thing I can see that would / could go wrong is the packages that your using however if your only using ones that were developed by the core team there shouldn’t be any problems.

Thanks for your reply!
