Preparing to upgrade
January 21, 2012, 05:30:47 am
Hi!

I am preparing to upgrade my site from 2.2.2 to 3.4. To do so, I wish to follow the advice and first upgrade a copy of the site, that runs on a hosted service. So I do an Akeeba backup, download and install it locally. Doing that, I get Joomla to run nicely, but Civicrm shows just a white page. Is there a way to solve this, so I can test-upgrade safely? Or should I just skip it, and rely on the backup if something goes bad?

Akeeba is not able to migrate your CiviCRM install. You will need to follow the wiki page noted above.

OK, thanks for that. I'll check and see what I make of it.

Do you think there will be big problems upgrading from 2.2.2 to 3.4?
