As long as you haven't changed the program files, I think the upgrade instructions in the INSTALL or README files will cope with moving from 3.2 to 3.6 - but take backups so you can put it back to 3.2 if it doesn't. I'm not at my desk, so I can't say for sure if I've done such an upgrade. I don't have spare time to do an unpaid step-by-step, sorry.

DearRaphael, I upgraded from 3.2 to 3.4.5 following the steps below. I believe, it should work for 3.4.6 too. 1.Backup Koha database, 2.Download latest Koha i.e.$ wget http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.04.06.tar.gz 3. Extract i.e. $ tar xvfz koha-3.04.06.tar.gz 4. Go to extracted folder i.e. $ cd koha-3.04.06 5. Run the command i.e. ./koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m 6. New Perl dependencies needs to be install 7. Perl dependencies should be upgraded using cpan i.e. sudo cpan upgrade module name 8. Ensure that all perl dependencies are upgraded/install (Repeat cpan if error or missing dependencies) 9. Type the following commands perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log make make test sudo make upgrade 10. Login to Koha staff client to complete the upgradation 11. If searching does not works, Rebuild Zebra index sudo /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon start sudo /etc/init.d/koha-zebraqueue-daemon start sudo KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v Best wishes, F.R.Sumer Deputy Librarian Central Library North-Eastern Hill University(NEHU) Shillong 793 022, Meghalaya(India) -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Looking-for-How-to-step-by-step-upgrade-fr...

Dear F.R. Sumer, I am delighted to have such great assistance from you. Though I am new to doing things in Linux, I will try your elaborate instructions. I will eventually let you know the outcome. On 11/12/11, frsumer <frsumer@nehu.ac.in> wrote:
