How i can upgrade existing database from 2.2.14 to 2.6.5 without loosing data?

Hi,

I want to upgrade my site from 2.2.14 ro 2.6.5 without loosing data from database, I have installed new version of 2.6.5 but when i connect with old database with new version it wont works properly even i cannot login into manager.

Can anyone tell me that how i can upgrade current database to 2.6.5 compatible version?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mujtaba Ahmad,

Yes, this isn't quite easy process, the same doing for the client.
Well, I see the next way: you should update your MODX step by step by intermediate releases where principal updates were added. So it can be: 2.2.14-> 2.3.2-> 2.4.0->2.5.0->2.6.0-> 2.6.5

Are you going to do it manually or using BobRay's UpgradeMODX component? I'm not 100% sure it supports all these releases(only some recent ones) now but somewhere on forum I saw Bob's message it can be possible soon.

Hi Anton Tarasov,

Thanks for replying against my question, actually due to CMS script attack my current modx has many issues, that why manager is blank for now. i cannot upgrade from CMS, i have to to do manually something

Thanks

Mujtaba, before you do any upgrades, you need to completely clean the site (or better -- delete all the files and empty the DB tables, then restore a backup from before the hack).
