    Question about migrating from 7.x to 8.x: I try to understand if I have to

    create a new fresh and empty website, and then after db migration to add all the views, etc?

    or can I just do the regular upgrade when I just copy the /bin and /umbraco folders and let the db migration run?

    It's not clear

    Please advise.

    Thanks

    Hi Meni,

    As far as I am aware there is no upgrade route from 7 to 8, the recomended method is to create a new blank umbraco 8 solution and then point it at your v7 database, when run this will perform a database update so that the v7 database is compatible with v8, and you keep all your content. You will then need to manually fix any doc types and code so that it is fully v8.

    Hi, I tried today to create a new blank website without success. It's throwing many errors. It can't create DB, etc. Then when I put in the web.config my existing database connection, I got many errors, for example:

    Error during installation
    Invalid object name 'umbracoDataType'.
    See the log for full details (logs can typically be found in the App_Data\Logs folder).

    Hi Meni

    Proworks has done a fantastic blog post about how to upgrade (or rather migrate) from Umbraco 7 to 8.

    It should make things clear, although it's not a small task :)

    Make sure to carry on to 10/11 afterwards.
