Summary0028093: Admin guide refers to upgrade script that does not appear in my installation
Description

I am trying to upgrade from 1.2.x to 2.2.5 because of PHP obsolescence. I installed Mantis 2.25 using softaculous from the CPanel.

I checked the admin guide at https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en-US/Admin_Guide/html-desktop/#admin.install.upgrade

The admin guide in paragraph 2.5, step 4 states:
"Execute the upgrade script. From your web browser, access
http://yoursite/mantisbt-NEW/admin/install.php"

However, there is no such directory "admin", and I get a 404 error. I have not found the "install-php" file either.

Is this a softaculous installation problem or is the Admin Guide incorrect? How do I proceed with the migration?

I don't know what Spectaculous is doing or how they are setting up our software, but the install script is most definitely part of our standard distribution so if it's missing on your end please turn to them for support.

Thank you for your quick response, will do.
Is there an alternative to migrate the database than with that script?

Short of manually applying each schema step, which is neither recommended not supported, no.
