troubleshooting a php framework / cms based site

A couple of websites went down after a server upgrade. Checking out the contents of public_html, found some directories named fuel and codeigniter. Initially thought it was a codeigniter-based site, 

Later, found some function calls like fuel_set_var() which on searching github and google led to FUEL CMS - 

My first impressions were that upgrading from the existing 0.9x version to 1.5x was not so straightforward - the migration tool, mentioned in the documentation above, did not run. Then there is the part of the documentation which says that it needs MySQL 4.x + - 
Hopefully it works with 5.x? Will have to try manually capitalizing filenames and class names as needed for codeigniter 3+. 
"If you have a current installation of 1.3x or less and are wanting to upgrade, there are a few things to be aware of. FUEL 1.4 uses CodeIgniter 3.x which includes a number of changes, the most prominent being the capitalization of controller and model names. Additionally it is more strict on reporting errors."
