This is my fourth revision DNN Upgrade guide. This version of the document includes important updates for the upgrade process to DotNetNuke 4.6. Many portions of this upgrade guide are the same as previous versions, however, there are some new items. This is simply due to the LIMITED changes that have truly occured in the area of DotNetNuke upgrades.
This guide is geared towards performing an upgrade in-place directly to the server. If you are on a hosted web server you will need to make modifications to the instructions to fit your access to the production environment. Additionally I STRONGLY suggest attempting to perform an upgrade locally BEFORE you update a production hosted site to check all processes.

In previous articles on this site I have provided tutorials for installing DotNetNuke
to a local machine, however, I have never yet approached the topic of installing
DotNetNuke to a remote web hosting provider. I have been asked many times

as depending on the hosting providers environments the steps to install can differ
greatly. However, due to popular demand I have created this tutorial which
will provide you the basic overview of how to perform a clean installation of DotNetNuke
on a remote web hosting provider. In the article I will try to point out the
most common areas of difference between different hosting providers, I will also
be providing specific examples regarding the use of the Plesk control panel which
is what my hosting provider (3Essentials) uses.

I have been toying with the idea of starting to offer video tutorials from my site to compliment my text based items.
I would be looking at using a screen capture utility to capture the exact procedures needed to do each of the tasks with guided voice instruction and explaination.
Overall they would be somewhat similar to others out there and I w...
