Re: Upgrade 3.2.2 to 4.9 or 5.01???

Don't see that at all, just a black "report post" at the right side...

Also - just for clarification before I embark on this process...
In reading Will Strohl's page re: upgrade paths referenced in Chris' post earlier in the thread,
it appears this upgrade will be a multi-step process.

I.e. I'll need to upgrade 3.2.2 --> 4.3.7, then --> 4.4.1, then --> 4.6.2, then --> 4.9.4

That would be 4 upgrades in sequence - is this correct???

Thanks,
-Doug

Thank you Chris and Sebastian!
Even though I'm logged in I don't see the red "Accept Answer".
Would a mod please mark this thread as resolved?

Doug,

sorry, AFAIR the link is displayed to the thread creator and moderators (why?) only - and clicking it resulted in an error. Anyhow, resolution has been changed. Thank you.

You [...] should upgrade to 4.9.4 for security reasons.
Even though DNN 5.1.0 was released "ready for production", version 4.9.4 is the most stable version atm.

On the other hand, I found the link http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Development/Downloads/tabid/125/Default.aspx

DotNetNuke 5.x is the "active" development branch of the DotNetNuke web application framework DotNetNuke 5.x is available as a general public release and is now recommended for production environments.

DotNetNuke 4.x is the previous generation development branch of the DotNetNuke web application framework. This package is no longer undergoing active development.

I am going to create a new production portal. I am interested to know what would be the recommended version for production right now.

Thanks,
