Are there steps to upgrade from 4.7.1.1 to 4.9.0. I know there is an issue with the uComponents stuff. So I am assuming whatever workaround the came up with should work. Is the update process the from 4.7 to 4.9 the same as 4.8 to 4.9? If we are using uComponents, is there a different "using" statement we need to use in our Razor files?
So yesterday I updated from 4.7.1.1 to 4.9 Umbraco worked great. Of course some of my uComponent items broke. We are using uComponents 2.0.1.0. Really behind. I first uninstalled uComponents (probably not the best idea) then tried to install uComponents v5. Well that completely broke the site and gave me a 500 server error. I took out the uComponent DLL's and the references in the web.config, AND took out the uComponents Package folder from the Packages folder, BUT that still did not bring my site back. I am not sure what else installing 5.0 broke or installed, but if you have and idea of what else it might have installed that would be awesome.
So we are going to try again. Luckily we have a copy of our production site to install on our test server, BUT the uComponents thing would be a nice thing to know what to do from 2.0 to 5.0. And how the heck do you upgrade uComponents, install the new package then uninstall the old package?
Yes that is what we ended up doing. Lee Kelleher posted back on another forum and stated the obvious of not deleting the old uComponent and just installing over the old uComponents with V5. Thanks for the feeback.
Upgrade from 4.7.1.1 to 4.9.0?

Hi,
All you have to do is:
1.- modify the config files, there are 4 news and 2 that have to be modified
2.- copy the /bin, /umbraco and /umbraco_client
3.- modify the web.config (comparing the new (4.9) and the old (yours)). Do not modify the version before upgrade, will modified automatically later.
4.- Download the latest version (5.0) of ucomponents from the website.
5.- run http://your_web/umbraco/ and goes to packages and install ucomponents version 5.0
Following these steps, might run perfectly.
Hi
To safely upgrade from 4.7.1 to 4.9.0 I followed the upgrade instructions on Codeplex
I followed the upgrade instructions for 4.7 to 4.8 on: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/86586
and for 4.8.0 to 4.8.1 on: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/92481
and then for 4.8.1 to 4.9.0 on: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/94118
also the WinMerge tool comes in very handy for updating the .config files: http://winmerge.org/
hope this helps,
Anthony
@Albert,

Sorry for aswering late. Doing a backup before upgrade the site is the best thing you can do xD
I'm sure that no deleting uComponents package during the upgrade and only install the new version of it, will work.
Yes that is what we ended up doing. Lee Kelleher posted back on another forum and stated the obvious of not deleting the old uComponent and just installing over the old uComponents with V5. Thanks for the feeback.
