I am trying to upgrade from version 4.1.2 to 5.1.4 of Jira on a Linux server using MySQL for the DB. Can't do this is a single step, so the question is what version should I use for the intermediate step?
As mentioned on this page you can actaully go directly from 4.x to 5.x but we strongly advice going through an intermediary stable version of the 4 series. In this case, you shoud go to 4.4.5 and then to 5.1.4
I've done 4.0 to 5.1 safely - run into two issues - some user group memberships are dropped, and Greenhopper creates duplicate fields. Both minor problems and fixable in the database.
However - this system, although large, is moderately simple. There are a small handful of well-maintained plugins, we've done a lot of standardisation and "reuse fields as much as possible". It's still messy, but not horribly so.
However you approach this, you MUST test it properly. Rig up a test system, and try a single upgrade run. If you hit problems, then go straight back to Sultan's answer for the next test run - do 4.x to 4.4.5
Oh, and I wouldn't use 5.1.4 either. Go to at least 5.1.7 and I'd recommend 5.1.8
