I will shortly share our story of upgrade from 7.4.3 to 9.3.2 in Azure.
It was a big migration, but finally, it's working. So, have confidence, it will work out :)
The main caveats during the upgrade:
Any resolution on the need to install the security patches if you are upgrading all the way to 9.4.x?
Hi, im going to go the road from 7.02 and up to 9.04.
In the Readme.txt in the /Documentation folder in the downloaded zip file DNN_Platform_07.04.02_Upgrade.zip there is a very short description of how to upgrade.
Application Upgrades -------------------- - make sure you always backup your files/database before upgrading to a new version - BACKUP your web.config file in the root of your site - unzip the code over top of your existing application ( using the Overwrite and Use Folder Names options ) - browse to localhost/DotNetNuke_Community (or whatever you have used for your url) in your web browser - the application will automatically execute the necessary database scripts and provide feedback in the browser
Is this method the way to do it?
