fresh install questions

Permalink
I had to do a fresh install of Concrete 5 ( 5.3.3.1). I was running 5.3.2. Question: what happens if I use the old database? I will re-upload the files ( close to 2,000- ughhh) and rebuild the pages one by one, unless someone knows an easier way to do this. this is on Mac Xserve Os 10.5 (Leopard). Please let me know of any issues before I break this (again).
BTW, the current site is all screwed up- mostly theme issues, but also cannot see edit bar, sitemap, or statistics bar in dashboard. This is why I need to start from scratch. This happened when we tried to upgrade the server to snow leopard- it did not play with php 5.3- sucks for me.

the databases are not compatible, you have to run the update script.

I would clean everything off, restore your 5.3.2 install to a working condition, and then directly upgrade to 5.3.3.1 following the instructions.
