Upgrading CMS Site to Version 10.0-10.3

The instructions below help you to upgrade:

  • from an earlier version of CMS 10 to 10.0-10.3.

  1. Within your server's file system, navigate to Ingeniux CMS 10.0 > Ingeniux CMS Site Instance Wizard. The site wizard dialog displays.
  2. Click the Upgrade Existing tab.
  3. Select the version 9.x or 10.x CMS instance that you'd like to upgrade from the list.

  4. By default, the Raven Database will be backed up prior to the upgrade. While this backup is recommended, clear the Backup Raven Database checkbox if you don't want the Raven Database backed up.
    Note
    This upgrade process preserves custom modifications to the Web.config file for RavenWeb.
  5. Click Start. The Preview Site Binaries Update dialog displays.

    Warning
    From this point forward, the update process is not reversible.
  9. Click Finish to complete the upgrade.
    Note
    The original name of the CMS instance is retained after the upgrade to version 10+. You may want to factor this into your CMS naming scheme by not including version numbers.
