I've tried looking through the forums for nay help I can find on this topic, but I haven't seen anything helpful. If I've missed it, I apologize.
I have an existing Courier installation of version 1.2 running fine on a 4.7.1 site for Staging and Poduction transfers. I want to upgrade Courier to 2.1.1, but I'd like to be as prepared as possible for this process.
Are there any links to this process or is it as easy as manually installing 2.1.1 and configuring it from scratch? It looks like the two versions are configured a bit differently from look of the manual instructions, because the entries in the config files are not there form the previous version. At least, I'm not noticing them anywhere.
My concern is more for the SQL aspect of the upgrade and if anything changes from the old version and what should still be followed form the installation process. Certainl;y someone else has done this u[grade before who can pass on some helpful tips?
My only suggestion would be to install another copy of 4.7.1 locally, install Courier 2.1.1 and then do some file compares and also a database compare (you can get a 14 day trial of Redgates tool for example)
Courier 1 and 2 are completely seperate, you cannot upgrade V1 to V2, so best option would be to uninstall Courier 1 and then install Courier 2 as a package as normally

Hey Chris,
Welcome to the forum!
I'm sure some at Umbraco will help you with this.
