Was is the best way to upgrade DNN to the latest versions? In the past, I have simply uploaded the upgrade files, via FTP... and off I went. But with version 7.1.0 that procedure totally trashed my system, and I am now stuck with rebuilding it. It also is a very tedious process. Tried looking at WebMatrix, but not sure how to make that tool work with the deployed version. So what is the best practice on upgrading DNN here at Winhost?
DNN provides instructions here. I would follow their guidelines. One of our staff member also published this blog.
