Hello, I am currently running Contonti 0.6.5 / 0.6.5 and I am wondering is it about time to start catching up? So I have a few questions

I tried this before over a year ago and failed :( but I want to give it another shot.

Question 1: Can I keep my current site running and create a copy site to perform the upgrade with ......com/secondsite/....... ? and perform the upgrade from there, then once the upgrade is complete move it to the main folder ?

Question 2: Are there a lot of steps to follow to get to the latest version?

Question 3: Is it possible to create a fresh install of the new version on a seperate folder with its own database, then import my old site stuff into the new fresh install ? is there a tool for this?

The procedure to upgrade is descripted here: http://www.cotonti.com/docs/start/updating#ch2

1. You can create a copy, but you need to copy all files and your database. And change the basis info in config.php.

2. If you go to Siena, all will be done automatically. But all non-siena plugins will be disabled. It will use the default THEME. Your SKIN must be upgraded to a THEME too.
Some tags are changed and there are new one's.

3. This is not a good idea. Because during the upgrade, your database will be upgraded too. There are changes, and an import will use the old info.

... can we help you ...

EDIT: fixed error thanks I forgot to add a theme in the config

To see the error messages, edit your datas/config.php and set there

$cfg['display_errors'] = TRUE;

and probably another one might be helpful too:

$cfg['debug_mode'] = TRUE;

 

May the Source be with you!

This error message means that the update to 0.9.11 is not complete and at least one of the patches has not been applied.

May the Source be with you!
