can we upgrade confluence from 5.6 to 6.7. what things we should be taking care of when we upgrade . please help
Hi @Padmasree P
First make sure you have a valid license.
Shut down confluence.
create a backup (also from database)
Then just use the installer. it will ask you a few questions. (make sure you select upgrade.)
If files where altered/added the installer will tell you.
copy those files and afterwards proceed with the installation.
Do a diff between old (copied) files and the new files and make the modifications if necessary.
Start confluence and keep your fingers crossed. ;-)
After the upgrade it can take some time before it is started again so be patient.
Regards
Dave
