Hi all

Pardon me for saying, but upgrading DNN is not easy enough. I'm using websecurestores and running 3.2 with sql 2000. When I want to upgrade to the latest and greatest, I'm being told I'd have to install the latest and recreate my content and reinstall modules and skins.

From an end-user perspective this is painful and not just in one rearward facing body part! :)

Copying an entire DNN site via FTP as a backup is even less fun, despite high speed internet. Restoring that after the fact is worse.

Having the users with the latest and greatest version of DNN is important to the community as it means debugging can be limited to fewer versions.

I tried the directions at: http://www.powerhousedata.com/Blog/tabid/67/EntryID/2/Default.aspx but ended up with an error. Unfortunately I can't read the error because it won't tell me. That's a security precaution, but it's not making me feel secure.

Does anyone have directions for a bullet proof upgrade? Thanks!

I don't know about 3.2 because I never used it.  But for 4.x, I just download the upgrade package...unzip it to my server and go to the site to trigger the upgrade.  I don't have to recreate anything.    I could be wrong but should it be the same for you?
