- Backup
- Replace all files with the latest release
- Do all sql updates starting with 125n-001 up-till 0.6.3-0.6.9

You need to check all your plugins if they still work or not. Some plugins are not needed anymore, their functionalities are in the core.

So best it to do a on a test site. Make a backup and restore it on a test-server, or subdir.
Try to upgrade and fix the errors in the plugins.
Then move this to the real site.
... can we help you ...

yes, install cotonti without to create database-tables
Import old database
Do all upgrade script for SQL

If I remember well, all plugins are disabled during upgrade from seditio to cotonti.
So no errors for plugins. And then reinstall them one by one to see if they work.

To prevent errors (been there done it a dozen times) disable all plugins yourself in the seditio DB (one by one, dont use the disable the plugins config), clear all logs and other tables you don't need or want (to keep the DB as small as possible), upload the Cotonti files, import the DB and execute all DB patches one by one. Make sure you dont skip one. And also read the above posted links, they contain valuable info.

If you think reading/watching some videos is a waist of time i guess after a few tries to convert you will decide otherwise.

HAve you used the old config.php??

If so, use the config-sample.php
Fill in the needed fields and rename it to config.php and upload it.

Use also the standard skin. If no errors, you can use yours.
But old skins need to be updated.
