Ok so first you need to get the server up and running. This is explained here
http://www.manictime.com...erverReleases/Version_v1When you think the server works, try visiting it with browser on the same machine it is running.
So http://localhost:8080/
If you get a page then it is working. Then try to visit the url with a browser from another machine. If you can't access it, it most likely means there is a firewall blocking your requests.
When this works connect to the server from MT.
Now you will be able to publish the data from your new database, but we still need to get the old data there. We don't advertise this much, but you can run multiple copies of MT simultaneously. So to get the old data to the server do this:
-Download USB copy
-Extract it to some folder
-In the same folder you extracted files to, create a Data subfolder and copy in your old database.
-Run manictime with 'ManicTime /name:old'
-This will get a second instance running with your old data. Publish the data to the server. When it finishes, open Settings and uncheck Start when windows start. Then Exit. You can also delete the folder with USB version.
-In the current ManicTime you can then go to Timesheet and create timesheets based on tag data from old database.
