After extracting 1.7.1 you will need to copy your old config.inc.php and setup.conf.php. This was one of the short comings of the 1.x series. After you upgrade to 2.0 the upgrade is a bit easier.

Thanks for the instant reply!!.

Where do I copy these files to?

I would rather go through an orderly upgrade if at all possible.

Is there a document which explains what the database changes are and what setting need to be migrated?

No document, the database changes are all in misc/upgrade/vX_to_vY/database_changes.php

How about the config file changes? Can I just run the install program and enter my setting again without harming the the data (is it destructive to the existing database?)

We are working on releasing 2.1 right now, but if you upgrade to 2.0.1 upgrading to 2.1 should be trivial.
