I have a DNN site that was set up for my client.  They are looking to upgrade from DNN Version 4.04 to the most current version. 
Is there a step by step insruction manual on how to accomplish this?

It is strongly advisable to upgrade in multiple steps, via 4.6.2 to 4.9.5 (past upgrades to 5.1.x are still encouraging, I've been told).

you may follow my upgrade check list.

Thank you for your response.  I have a couple of issues. 

    1) Is there a suggested upgrade path from 4.04 to current?  I see there are a lot of versions in between, I hope it's not expected that each and every version needs to be installed one at a time...?

     2) I copied my customers DNN site from their server to my local machine.  After battling with IIS & SQL settings I finally got rid of all the runtime errors.  Problem is, now when I run the website on my LOCALHOST, it immediately redirects my web browser to the LIVE website.  What setting am I missing?  There has to be a way to tell the DNN site on my LOCALHOST to stay on the LOCALHOST and not redirect to the LIVE domain name...no?

Help!

ad 1) I did provide you with a suggested path, which interim versions to use

ad 2) you need to add the local address as additional record to the portal alias table.

Sebastian,

Thank you so much, #2 work perfectly!

Regarding #1, am I correct in assuming the following based on what you said?

     1) Upgrade my version 4.04.00 directly to 4.06.02
     2) Upgrade 4.06.02 directly to 4.09.05
     3) Upgrade 4.09.05 directly to 5.01.04

So in essense, I only have to do three seperate upgrades?
