Hi,

I'm new to Koha and have inherited a very old koha install. I'm wanting to move the instance to a new VM and thought it may be a good opportunity to upgrade too. Can anyone please assist in the recommend steps to do so?

Couple of points: The starting point would this http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2 Then to ensure that 952 is moved to items table And a close watch at the updatedatabase.pl output. A few errors can be ignored, but some would needed to addressed. and of course a zebra reindex once all that is over. basically that is pretty much the deal. cheers, -idg

...

Thank you in advance..

Damien

Thank you - clean install sounds like a very good option. Is there an  easy way to export the data I need or is it more the case copying the database tables from old instance to the new?

Though, sometimes an upgrade is an opportunity to lose the junk. However, perhaps you may wish to take this opportunity to do a fresh install, and import cleaned MARC records into the fresh install? I would also take note of any other settings which might be useful (custom reports, branches, system preference settings, etc.). There is, after all, multiple ways to accomplish the same thing. :) GPML, Mark Tompsett
