... I have already moved the site into a subdirectory, and plan on upgrading differently (unless that is the only way which I doubt).

No it is not the only way ... there are 2 extensions that do it in one go. One of them is non-commercial the other is commercial but I posted what imho was your best option.

And that will be a big issue unless you use an extension(or tool) to export/import ... because the 1.5 database has a completely different structure to the J2 and J3 series.

Just to be clear, I do not want to run the upgrade from the "live" website



Just to be clear ... the post I pointed to did say run the upgrade on the live site ... it said to make a backup of the site and create a new Joomla in a sub directory

but as I mentioned in my original post, there seems to be an issue with the new db.

If you use Akeeba to make a backup of the original site that will make it easier to install it in a sub directory (or on localhost if you wish to use xampp, wamp (or for mac mamp).
