Author Topic: Questions before I upgrade... (Read 578 times)

Hi All,

First, I am running CiviCrm 2.27 on Drupal 6.13 which I would like to upgrade (I'm a bit behind...) to the latest security upgrade v6.24.

I should upgrade both but I have to say, I am a bit concerned about upgrading CiviCRM... For what ever reason, it was a tough install when I did it 2-3 years ago and the tables for Civi are quite large that it presents issues for backup and restore on my server.

For this reason I want to do this in steps. First Drupal then later CiviCRM.

Questions:

is Civi 2.27 compatible with Drupal 6.24? I have not found anything that would indicate it isn't.
Can I upgrade to the latest Civi or do I have to do an incremental version from 2.27?

I only use CiviCRm contribute to collect donations to my Authorize.net account. I don't need the new verion but I don't want to get to far behind either.

Thanks!

Hi,

The reason no one mention compatibility with civicrm 2.27 is probably more due to (almost) no one using it than a careful testing and evaluation I'm afraid.

I would suggest to try upgrading (both) in a dev server. I shouldn't be too much of an issue, and they are so many new features that it's really worthwhile (not to mention that you have missed quite a few security upgrades on the civi side as well)

As for the upgrade, since quite a few versions it works almost automatically and you can skip over some intermediate ones. This being said, not sure if the automatic update was already there on 2.2 (They are TwoOne and TwoTwo directories in the upgrade folder, it might be a good sign)

Good luck, it might no be that easy, but the more you wait, the harder that's going to be...
