Hi there,
Did you reach to support to assist you with this? It may be best approach.
I did in the past (not 6.5) a fresh installation and then used an existing database and it works. You can try it if you want (take a backup of the database). I was trying to find a kb or blog with this process but is something lets say not standard and maybe without support. But again, strongly recommend you to reach support fix it and then you can plan a proper migration/upgrade.
Cheers
