Updating from 2.1.2

How would I go about getting up to speed with the most current version? Currently I'm running my site on 2.1.2.

Thank,

Ernie

Re: Updating from 2.1.2

How big is your site - and how many modules do you have?

I saw on snowcovered a module that is supposed to help you export your site to later versions, but I've not tried it - however, I've assessed a few sites of mine running on DNN2 and come to the personal opinion that it's quicker to redo a site from scratch rather than try to upgrade if you don't have access to a server where you can quickly identify problems. I found the upgrading path on sites that have third party module to be nothing short of horrible.

So how big is your site?

Re: Updating from 2.1.2

Nina,

It's not that big (http://www.ucageneral.com) the only that is custom is the little flash banner on the home page. I know it's not that much hard to redo the site, but I'm already tight on time. I did try and run the upgrade yesterday, but I got a database doesn't match error so I restored my backup and all is back to normal again. Now, would that have something to do with my database since I'm not running SQL server? I'm currently running it with an Access database.

Thanks for the reply,

Ernie
