Upgrading from 3.0.4 to 3.1.7 - kabeza - 03-07-2018 Hi Is there a shortcut for upgrading from 3.0.4 to 3.1.7 ? Or should I follow each procedure as stated in the user guide and download every version, upgrade, download, upgrade, and so ? Thanks RE: Upgrading from 3.0.4 to 3.1.7 - php_rocs - 03-07-2018 @kabeza, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP COPY BEFORE BEGINNING TO UPGRADE Less Risk: My first answer is to do as you stated above (just to make sure that you don't miss anything). More Risk: My second answer would be, do some analysis to determine if you could skip some versions. For example lets say version 3.0.5 to 3.1.0 only the core files ( in directory: /system) were modified/updated. Then I would say it would be safe to skip (versions) but if any of the versions in between 3.0.5 and 3.1.0 are moving more then just modified/updated core files ( in directory: /system) then you would need to definitely include that version in your upgrade. Highest Risk: My third answer would be to make a copy of your 3.0.4 and just do a full blown upgrade to 3.1.7 (of course knowing that you will need to keep a copy of all important files that were changed, such as config/config.php, config/constants and more...). You would definitely need to be familiar with what changes/modifications need to move forward. I've been working with CI for a long time and I have successfully done the second choice but if I am new to the upgrade game. I would definitely do the first choice. Happy upgrading.

RE: Upgrading from 3.0.4 to 3.1.7 - Narf - 03-09-2018 Don't download each separate version, you can directly go with the 3.1.7 download. But do all the steps in between. It's not as much work as it looks like; most of them are to check/remove usage of obscure features that you very likely don't use. |
