Ok,

I think I've got it to work. However, it did not run through the set-up with me!

I created a new database and copied over the tables from the old one.

Now in admin it is telling me

Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.
I went there and I see that Im on version 1.3.7 but the database is version 1.3.6

How do I do I patch it?
