How to upgrade from 7.2.2 to 7.9

I have a working 7.2.2 installed from Godaddy , how do I upgrade to 7.9 ?

  1. First of all, don’t upgrade to 7.9, wait for 7.9.1 bugfix release.

  2. Now make a proper backup of every single file and of the entire database contents

  3. Check your permissions or reset them

  4. Go to this page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/suitecrm/files/upgrades/

  5. Get SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.2.x-to-7.3.2.zip and do the upgrade. Quick Repair and Rebuild.

  6. Get SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.3.x-to-7.4.3.zip and do the upgrade. Quick Repair and Rebuild.

  7. Get SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.4.x-to-7.6.10.zip and do the upgrade. Quick Repair and Rebuild.

  8. Get SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.6.x-to-7.8.4.zip and do the upgrade. Quick Repair and Rebuild.

Now either stay there or upgrade to 7.9.1 when it comes out (possibly even today).

And try not to get so far behind the upgrades… there are security issues to be concerned with.
