Upgrade Documentation for 4.4.x upgrades has disappeared - only 4.5.x available?
July 17, 2014, 07:26:11 am
I'm upgrading a site today, from Drupal 7.28 to 7.29 (done, works fine) and from Civi 4.4.5 to 4.4.6 - when I drill down for documentation on upgrades within 4.4, I find that the documentation is gone and there's a reference to the 4.5.x documentation. The 4.5.x documentation says it's not applicable and I should use the previous version documentation, which doesn't seem to be there anymore.

I'm concerned that some have had issues, and I don't want to use the incorrect upgrade process. Anyone have advice?

Thanks,
Rick

The upgrade process is actually the same every time--it rarely changes. I'm not sure what happened in the docs, but the upgrade procedure should be the same.

Thanks Hershel - I'll use the instructions for 4.4.5 and report back if I run into snags.

The wiki gets shifted to the next version at a point ahead of that version's release so that new stuff getting added goes into the new version.  For most pages, that "view previous version" link works well, but there's obviously not an "Upgrade Drupal sites to 4.5" in the 4.4 wiki.  Hershel's right--you're probably fine just using the new instructions--but if you want to get the 4.4 version, you can just use the search box.  If type "upgrade to 4.4", it'll suggest everything you need.
You can find me at AGH Strategies.

I think we ought to rename those wiki pages to take the version number out of the title. Then the "previous version" link will work.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.
