hi there,

Hope you can help me.

We are using ezpublish 3.6.1 for a quite while now. Our severs are going to be upgraded from 4.3.x to 4.4. This means we have to upgrade all our sites which are in ezpublish 3.6.1 to ezpublish 3.8.x.

What is the easiest and less time consuming way to upgrade all the sites.

Is there any automated script?

Please help, because it is quite urgent.

Regards
Smith

Hi John,

Take a look at this : http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/installation/upgrading/upgrading_from_3_6_x_3_7_x_to_3_8_0

I've followed this step by step and it did work nicely.

Hi Nabil,

Thanks for your kind reply. It is bit manual sort of job. Can't this be automated as I have too many sites on the server.

Please help.

Hi John,

if it could would somebody have written it already?

I have the same problem here, running 10 sites before 3.6 and we have to stick to php4.3.10 untill I know how to migrate 10 sites in a very short time. So best solution: do not upgrade, second best, buy a new server and migrate to there site by site.

Hi there,

Best solution is always not to do the things. But here I can't leave and the buy the server. So I need to the alternative.

Ez crew must know some alternative ways.

Different sites different approaches. What will happen if some of them uses patches, changes in the kernel, changes in the standard templates? Then you need to re-view all things and make upgrade step-by-step so all kind of automatic scripts will fail. With current state of eZ publish is difficult to automatize it. Any way if your site setup is clean and properly and you have backup then update should take less then 5 min (take the steps).
