I have purchased and installed version 5.02.01 on a new install of DNN 5. We have been running version 3.04.08 of DMX on DNN version 3.2.2.

What is the best way to upgrade/import my old 3.04.08 documents into the new version? 

I tried copying the tables into the new DNN 5 database and then installing DMX, but I get multiple errors because the tables already exist.

Same thing here. Moving from 3.05.02 to the newest DMX. Any word of advice on doing this the easiest way? It's not a problem with the roles, I can create those along the way. Its more a question of getting the correct exchanges created and having the right files in each and everyone.

Hi Peter,

"Only an upgrade of the installation itself will preserve data"

So, if you have say DMX 3 on DNN 4.6 for example on a Hosted Server.

Now if I wanted to upgrade the DNN installation to 5.2 and upgrade to DMX 5  on a new Host.

Are these the basic steps ?

1. Setup a DNN verision e.g. 4.6 that matches your hosted DNN version locally.

Copy the WebSite and DNN Database.

Change PortalAlias table to your local website.

Setup the DNN website to run locally ( might be a bunch of things here )

2. Upgrade local DNN 4.6 to DNN 5.2.2

3. Then install the DMX 5 module on top of the DMX 3 ( how to to this ?)

4. Now copy the WebSite and Database to a new Host

Change the PortalAlias Table to your Domain URL.

 Peter: "In fact the only way I think would be to export and then import again. But you'd need a tool to get all DMX 3 data out. That is probably not too hard."
Not sure how this would work, can you give details on this ?

Thanks, LA Guy ( Paul )

Hi all,

Hoping for some guidance  on the steps for moving and upgrading DMX 3 to DMX 5 ( DNN 5.2.2 ) on new Host.

Thanks, Paul
