Hi there,

I've using eZPublish 3.4 and 3.4.2 for a while, I would like to update my site to 3.4.4 and 3.5 in a future, but I'm afraid that it will be a difficult task. Is there any complete guide to upgrade sites? Is it difficult? Will the templates still work? Is it dangerous? Any experiences about this? Any advice?

TIA!!!

Can you feel it Mr. Anderson? Closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. Purpose of life is to end.

There is an upgrade guide included in the 3.5 release notes, http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/download/changelogs/ez_publish_3_5/upgrading

In my experience, upgrading from 3.4.2 to 3.4.4 will not cause any problems or incompatibilities. However, to be careful I often do a new fresh installation and copy my site files over, then point the domain to the new installation once it is tested.

To go to 3.5 looks like it will be more work, and certainly more chance for some templates to break. I had some templates break when moving from 3.2 to 3.4 because of some changes in the template code. It took a week on the development server to work them out before moving the live site. In most cases, they will still work though, and in that case it was only one function that changed which caused a problem.

Obvious advice is to back up everything, or to work on a separate server/installation (or both) in order to maintain uptime.

If you work in a separate install, remember to reinstall your extensions in the new version.

Good luck -

Mark

Thanks Mark, I'm taking good note of your post.

I'll start playing with my local RedHat b4 doing an ugrade in my live site.

Than you again.
