I feel pumped!  I just upgraded a website from DotNetNuke 04.00.03 to 04.09.01.  The only real issue I had I've documented here:

http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?ID=9093&PROJID=2

 

I would have never believed that it was possible to upgrade a site that was that old.  Major kudos to the core team for making DotNetNuke such a long-lasting product!

Tony,

Did you do it all in one jump or in stages?  I just read a Will Strohl blog with the suggested upgrade paths and I thought I would have to do an older one in about 3 stages.

Bill,

it depends on the features and 4rd party modules used, whether you are able to upgrade in a single step. you might try to upgrade from an early DNN 4 version to latest in a single step, but if it fails, the more safe and promising option will be upgrading in steps as described by Will.

PS: don't forget to start with a backup of database and files. For production sites, testing the upgrade on a local copy is suggested.

Hi Sebastian,

Happy New Year.  I am Mr backup, so I have that part covered.  I also always have a pretty current copy of all my clients web sites running locally that I do testing on.  Alot of people seem to think that is a big deal but I have never seemed to have much trouble doing that.

I guess I was wondering if the upgrade SQL scripts were able to handle the one step upgrade.

Thanks,
Bill
