    upgrade to 4.7 from 4.5.2

    hey, i want to update from 4.5.2 to 4.7?

    is it the right way to upgrade straight to 4.7 ? or i need to upgrade first to 4.6.1 and then to 4.7 ?

    Hi Eran

    As far as I know it should be possible to go from 4.5 to 4.7 skipping the 4.6.2 step.

    For general upgrade instructions you can find more information here: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/upgrading-an-umbraco-installation

    And there are some 4.7 specific notes here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/62573 (The section below the fold that says "Important before upgrading").

    Maybe it's a good idea to do a dummy upgrade by creating  a clean install of 4.5.2 and try to upgrade that to 4.7?

    Hope this helps

    /Jan

    I recently upgraded our dev server from 4.5.2 straight to 4.7.  There are a couple steps left out of the install instructions, but otherwise all went well.

    Hi Connie

    What steps are missing? It would be great if you would share so Eran does not need to spend time figuring this out for himself and so that the instructions could be updated.

    Thanks.

    Two items I recall...  one is related to the created and installed packages.  The upgrade instructions had me copy blank XML files over the top of my existing files.  Luckily I had backups I could bring back.

    Also, there were additional files I needed to delete otherwise XSLT failed with errors.

    Delete: 

    IronMath.dll
    IronPython.dll
    IronPython.Modules.dll
    IronRuby.dll
    IronRuby.Libraries.dll
    IronRuby.Libraries.Yaml.dll
    Microsoft.Dynamic.dll
    Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging.dll
    Microsoft.Scripting.dll
    RazorEngine.Core.dll
    RazorEngine.Templates.dll
    umbraco.MacroEngines.Legacy.dll
    VistaDB.NET20.dll
    VistaDB for Umbraco.dll

    Hi Eran

    You're welcome. Could you please mark Connies second answer as the solution if this was what did the trick? Then others can easily go to the solution if they come across this :-)

    Hi Connie,

    I deleted the above files, but still getting errors for the XSLT files? Anything you missed out?

    I could solve it

    Steps:

    1. Take a backup and delete all the dlls in the bin directory.
    2. Copy the newest dlls from 4.7.
    3. Go to the content and try to view any aspx page.
    4. This would give you an error saying the dll could not be found
    5. Add those dlls only from the backup folder.

    Hey Krishna,

    Welcome to the forum.

    4.0.3 to 4.1 is not a firect upgrade, there are differences in the XML schema (so you need to change the UseLegacyXML setting or adjust your XSLT).

    Also 4.7 uses a different .NET version (4)

    I think it's recommended to upgrade to 4.5.2 first and then to 4.7, however expect some pitfalls along the way, especially if you use alot of 3rd Party packages as some of these are not compatible.

    Obviously do NOT try this on a live website, try it locally and see how it goes.
