Hi ezCrew,

Can you suggest or guide me towards the right way?

No pain no gain. A few months back I upgraded 4 sites from 3.4.1 to 3.8.1 (and now 3.8.4)

3.4.1 -> 3.5.0
3.5.0 -> 3.5.11 (which was latest then)
3.5.11 -> 3.6.9 (latest then)

Then I upgrade PHP from 4.3 to 4.4.

Finally:

3.6.9 -> 3.8.1

Documentations for these steps are all readily available on this site.

If I had more time, I would write less code.

Hi,

Good luck. Yes, the best way it to run all the upgrade sql scripts on all the sites, move the var and setting on the new install and it should be ok.

Moreover, if you update the mysql too from 4.0 to 4.1 and were using utf8, be sure back up, and have a look a Kristof script to upgrade a few of the fields.

Good luck !
