Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade from v04.04.01 to the latest version 6.x ?  If so are there any instructions for completing ths?  I don't have hours to try and fix it if it does not work.

FYI - My site was manually installed on godaddy.com.

Thanks,
Don

yes it is possible, however its generally recommended to go in smaller leaps (and backup after each succesful upgrade). This is for a variety of reasons e.g. from 4.6.2 you no longer need to manually merge web.config changes, from 5.2.0 you need to be running under .net3.5sp1/sql 2005 or above etc. There is a suggested upgrade path at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/Suggested_Upgrade_Path.aspx , which I think is excessively cautious but is a useful guide. As to upgrading, please see http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/Upgrading-DotNetNuke.aspx
