How can I downgrade to a previous version? I’ve got 4.1.1 installed, I need to go back to 4.0. Suggestions?

In general, downgrading is not supported. It might work to just use the 4.0 scripts against a 4.1.1 database, not sure offhand - it would take some study to check for possible gotchas and deal with them.

Better would be to fix whatever you need fixed or changed in the newer code.
