It's an idea, that I'm certain others have created solutions for already (re: eZ Network) I'd say ... if you can write a script to get the version (number) of a eZ publish installation, you could create a script to automate the upgrade. I know of no existing public script which fills this need. Suggestions from anyone else here on this subject? //kracker Garbage - Not My Idea ...........

Betsy Gamrat	Tuesday 04 April 2006 6:22:19 am Hi - I upgraded from 3.4.? with these steps. Steps to upgrade eZ Create database Copy database from live site Install eZ Use eZ upgrade tool and phpMyAdmin to synchronize the old data to the new database structure Set the "container" flag on the custom classes and folders for the system (manual or script) Copy the templates from the live site, change ownership and permissions Copy any images and data stored Update override.ini manually Update template priorities Copy the stylesheets Integrate new CMS into existing site (rename the directory) I think you would need a fairly sophisticated script to handle the upgrade, but it could be done. All these steps took about 2 hours (the first run took 10 hours, to find all the steps). I was really impressed with how well the upgrade went (credit goes to eZ publish), because these were complex sites.

Thursday 06 April 2006 5:50:41 am eZNetwork is a closed source paid service soulution from eZ Systems, the creators of eZ Publish. from 3.6.x to 3.6.y is mostly just overwriting the old files with new ones. As long as you havn't changed / hacked anny files, this should be enough. + clear all cache after doing it. + optional: db backup before doing it eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
