Hi, my site is running on cb 1.5.5 and I would like to update it to 2.0.

Whats the best way to do it? Can I reinstall 2.0 over the existing database? I don’t mind to tweek the db manually

I migrated from 1.6.0 to 2.0 using the update section of the admin panel without any issue. Not sure if you can do the same, however make a backup and try.

Everything should be ok.

Update to 1.6 first. Then to 2

Read out release notes first:

It looks like you will want to manually upgrade to 1.6 first, THEN go to 2.0

The docs for running a manual update are here:

Thanks folks for the hints.,
unfortunately…manually updating from 1.5.5 to 1.6 doesn’t work on shared hosting with sandbox.
