    It's been a while since I had to deal with Newscoop stuff, so I am probably forgetting things I previously figured out but...
    I'm attempting to upgrade an old 4.2.1 (NOT 4.1.2 as I've seen mixed up in another forum post) installation.

    mydomain.com/upgrade.php get's me nowhere. well actually it gets me redirected to  mydomain.com/index.php

    I feel like I have to do something first - we wouldn't want random visitors to be able to trigger upgrade scripts - but I didn't see anything in the online manual, http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/newscoop-43-for-journalists-and-editors/backup-and-upgrade/ - but I can't shake the feeling I knew what was required before.

    Please help!
    thanks,

    Install new empty newscoop instance and restore there a backup file from
    existing instance.

    Thanks. I guess I didn't know before.

    And...

    This will work for an upgrade from 4.2.1 right to the current version without an intermediary step?

    I can take this opportunity to switch to the apt repo installation without hitting an incompatibility blocks during the backup?

    I'm kind of assuming both these are 'yes', but I'm asking before I hit a problem and start banging my head against it.

    Thanks

    Yes, you can use latest nescoop version (4.4.4 will be released on next
    week)

    hm, I recommend using classic tarball based installation

    okay. Is it just a relic of aging documentation that debian/ubuntu repo source is the "recommended" install method? I tried it a couple of years ago and think I had an issue during an update/upgrade but figured it's a couple years later and recommended. I'll stick with the zip/tar.

    thanks again, again
