I have one Drupal 5 site. I need to upgrade site to Drupal 7.
On my analysis I found that we can do it in two ways:
1. Drush update to latest version of 5 and then to Drupal 6 and then Drupal 7. But its a long way.
2. Using migrated2d module or feed module to migrate data to fresh Drupal 7 installation.
Can someone suggest better solutions and also any references ?
I need to rebuild a very old site but want to keep the user database (only). Is there an easy way of doing that besides doing the D5->D6->D7->D8 upgrade process?
I am in process of migrating from a home-based FreeBSD server to Bluehost. One of my Drupal installations is version 5.23 (2010-08-11), which I understand is no longer maintained. It is the oldest core installation I have been running; the rest are 7.xx or 8.xx.
Can anyone point me to the simplest and, hopefully, least problematic upgrade procedure? What should be my target core version at this point in time? Should I go to 7.xx? If so, do I need to step through 6.xx first?
