I have roughly 175 Revo installs that I need to update to the latest release (2.2.14.pl). I have had problems when updating in the past when it has been a big jump from version to version and am curious if anyone could let me know the update path/steps for each of the following...
2.0.7.pl
2.0.8.pl
2.1.3.pl
2.2.0.pl
2.2.1.pl
2.2.2.pl
2.2.4.pl
2.2.5.pl
2.2.6.pl
2.2.7.pl
2.2.8.pl
2.2.10.pl
2.2.13.pl
The later versions should just be a simple one-step update - - I am more concerned about anything paste 2.2.0.
Thanks,
Henry
Hello Henry,
It sounds like you have a good bit of work ahead of you.
You can read about the upgrade process here:
http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/administering-your-site/upgrading-modx including a few version specific changes.
In general you should be able to upgrade from 2.0.7 > 2.2.14 in one pass without any major problems. The process varies depending on the person you ask, but the basic are upload the new version overwriting the existing files. Once the upload finishes run the setup, check/update your extras, then clear the site cache and check for problems.
If the sites are fairly basic you shouldn't have much trouble with the upgrades, but more complex sites might encounter errors/differences depending on the version jump.
I've been using the install.php script. As long as the server supports url_fopen it's a pretty painless way to upgrade. Just put the install.php file in your site's root and run it from the browser.

It does need to be edited to upload 2.2.14 instead of 2.2.13.
