    Upgrading Umbraco 4.7.11 to 4.11.10

    Hey guys I have a question. What is the easiest way to upgrade a live website from using Umbraco 4.7.11 to 4.11.10? Currently I have tried to follow the upgrade steps as described in the version specific as well as the general upgrade guides, bu no luck. I also tried using a clean install of Umbraco 4.11.10 and then migrating over the existing database, but then I am not even able to log in to Umbraco :(

    Is there a way to migrate anyway, or is it better/only possible to start fresh?

    Hi Dave

    I've done many a successful upgrade from 4.0.4.2 all the way up to 7.2.6.

    Follow the version specific guides to the latter and you'll be fine.

    I suspect you're not being careful with the following...

    /config/*
    web.config

    You may need to do a comparison on those files with the ones supplied in the upgrade.

    Also make sure you have an intact install folder to run your upgrades as there are often DB schema changes.

    Finally, 3rd party package extensions can wreak havoc from version to version, so check compatibility as you move up and either upgrade them, or remove them.

    Kind regards

    Martin
