    We are looking to move to the new version of DNN from a very old version (6.2.6).

    I've installed DNN 9.10.2 on a seperate dev computer, installed our custom extensions and pointed the database connection to a copy of our older database (6.2.6) which "triggers" an upgrade "/install/UpgradeWizart.aspx".

    I don't know if upgrading 6.2.6 to 9.10.2 is an option, is it? Really don't want to keep the older site, we need to move to new servers and all.
    Can I upgrade the database only and connect the new 9.10.2 to the database?

    Any suggestions, opinions, comments are welcomed.

    Thanks

        Thanks for the help, so I'm doing the suggested path 06.02.08 > 07.04.02.

        When I go to the upgrade wizard I receive a compilation error "CS103: The name 'Localization' does not exist in the current context" on the line:

        In the file UpgradeWizard.aspx

        Compilation Error

        Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

        Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Localization' does not exist in the current context

          
        Line 292:            	upgradeWizard.dnnProgressbar.update(result.progress);
Line 293:                $("#percentage").text(result.progress + '% ' + result.details);
Line 294:                var upgradeError = result.details.toUpperCase().indexOf('<%= Localization.GetSafeJSString(LocalizeString("Error"))%>') > -1;
Line 295:                if (upgradeError) {
Line 296:                    // go through all the result and mark error state

          Which DNN framework version are you running for the IIS App Pool, your IIS website resides in?

            @Sebastian, thank you for your reply and sorry for the delay.

            I have yet to upgrade the site, so many issues with missing dependencies, wrong version of dependencies.

            I have what I believe is a stable site, I will know more when I actually do the upgrade.

            Thanks
