| Hello, I am not a programmer - but can stumble my way through code that has been written. The site that I use Cotonti for was set up back in April 2009 - it is running version 0.0.3 with a few of the plug-ins. I want to get the site up to the current version. Do I have to sequentially install 0.0.4 through 0.6.6? Or will 0.6.6 upgrade over top of 0.0.3? Anything in particular I should watch out for when upgrading? Thanks for everyones work on this system - it is EXCELLENT!!! -Sean | |

| You have to go through all patches one by one. And do not forget about updating system files, plugins and the skin  This post was edited by Kort (2010-02-21 19:37, 200 days ago) | |

| Thanks for the info. Since I am going through a number of upgrades - (and I'm using the default skin) - it is safe to run each database patch and system file upgrade and then only update the plugins and skin at the end? Or should I sequence through DB, system files, plugins and skin each time as I progress from 0.0.3 through 0.6.6? -Sean | |

| There are no strict rules for that, I think. Just turn the maintenance mode on during the upgrade. | |

| Good point - I would have overlooked going into maintenance mode (it has been so long since I updated it) Thanks for the info. I'll make my backups and give it a go.... -Sean | |

| Normally you only need to do the Database upgrade step by step. 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 .... 0.6.2 to 0.6.3 (= 0.6.6) And for the files upgrade, copy all files from 0.6.6 over you old files. No need to do every upgrade for the normal files. | |
