I am running PostNuke 0.7.1.4 pheonix on my site and it is doing fine. I am worried about trying to upgrade because I don't want to loose anything.... mainly members. Is there an easy way to upgrade or can someon give me step by step instructions. the install.txt didn't help me much.

thanks

Hi palehorse,

This type of question is particularly hard to answer. There is absolutely no way that I, or the others like me, are going to attempt to give you "warm and fuzzies" that nothing will go wrong with your upgrade. There are simply too many variables in that particular equation.:( All you have to do is read through the "Installation, Configuration, & Upgrades" forum to see how many folks have run into difficulty - not discounting that there are thousands of others that haven't.

Life's experience, particularly over this past 20 years or so, has taught me that a certain paranoia as it appertains to data loss is a *real* healthy thing to have! :) (Sounds like you've already got a good start).

Having said that, the best advice I've seen that goes beyond the existing documentation on this subject, (telling you to first "back up your database"), was from Infopro:

You would still have to re-install any third party modules you might have on your site - but his advice sure made good sense to me.

Hope this helps,
