Hi Guys.
I hope i'm posting in the right section here.

We currently have about 10 portals in a working DNN 4.5.5 we have been order to upgrade this to the latest version available which i see is 05.03.02
Please note that the 10 portals are in fact live sites.
What i have so far.
A copy of DotNetNuke_Community_05.02.03_Install
A backup of all the files and folders found under the path for DNN this include the web.config (our live DNN site).
A backup for the SQL DB (our Live DNN DB).
Another duplicate DB connected to a copy of the above mentioned DNN site.
I've added an Alias via DNN as well as IIS, to a specific portal (upgrade.mydomain.com), if i browse to it the correct portal is displayed.
Question.
What do i do next?
What do i do with the files found in DotNetNuke_Community_05.02.03_Install folder?
I've noticed several sub folder in the Portals folder for the live DNN site do those have to remain there?
If anyone can point me in the right direction i would really appreciated it.
If more information is required please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

To upgrade DO NOT use the install package, you will loose your web.config file.

Simply download the upgrade package, and unzip over the top of the existing site, then navigate to www.yoursite.com/install/install.aspx?mode=install to start the process.
