Requirements

• Backup the database!

Steps

• Then, open Notepad and list your upgrade path, with every stop. You can then copy and paste out of Notepad onto the command line.
• Pay particular attention to the scripts listed on each page (for example: upgrading from 3.3-5 to 3.4).
• Some of the scripts don't run (due to version conflicts), and some are optional. Read the pages in the upgrade documentation carefully - or you'll have to do it over and over.
• Take your time and be patient. The commands below are an example, you'll need to substitute your database access parameters as well as the siteaccess names.

Script
