You can't update from 1.7 to 2. the db structure is completely different. you'll need to start s2 from scratch.
wtdtan, thanks for the help. "I shoulda known".
I'll dive into 2 and see what I can learn. I don't understand much, but every so often the light bulb glows.

Hi.
Updated from 1.7 to the new beta.
How can I reconnect with my database. I had no .htaccess file to backup, yet I did the update, and got "Fatal error: Could not find database driver 'MySQL' in /www/www/symphony/update.php on line 43".
Can I reconnect to my database somehow?
Should I reinstall completely. It was a test install, not much content so far.
