Seeking: Upgrade instructions for taking Confluence Server 5.5.1 to latest, stable version

Question

Maybe, 6.15.

Confluence: 5.5.1

Postgres: 9.2.24

Java: 1.7.0_15

Tomcat: Apache Tomcat/7.0.47

HW: 4CPU, 8GB RAM, 50GB

I've done upgrades of Atlassian products, before, and found them to be somewhat involved.  So, I wanted to get a solid process for this one, before starting.  I'd also like to get a good download link.

Thanks,

-Anthony

Thanks, JP.  I'll create a test VM, first. Then, I'll read thru the notes and give the direct upgrade to 6.15.2 a try.

Hi,

you can upgrade directly to the latest 6.x (That is 6.15.2)

Check:

Make sure, that the database requirements are met & that you've got updates for all your addons/apps.

Best
