- Upgrade from an existing Community Server 2008.5 Service Pack 1.
Upgrade Notes
If you need to upgrade from a version of Community Server prior to 2008.5 SP1, then you must first upgrade to Community Server 2008.5 SP1, then apply SP2. The migration tools for CS 2008.5 SP1 are well-proven and stable; this is the smoothest path for you to move to CS 2008.5 SP2.
UPGRADE SCENARIOS
The following table describes how to upgrade your current version of Community Server to Community Server 2008.5 SP2.
|
Community Server Version |

Community Server 2007 or higher running on SQL Server 2005 |

SQL Server 2000 Users
At this time, the SQL patches included in SP2 are NOT compatible with SQL Server 2000. You can apply the binary updates and get the latest bug fixes; however, the performance changes in SP2's SQL scripts have not been ported back to SQL 2000.
If you have upgraded your Community Server install running on SQL Server 2000 to Community Server 2008.5 SP1, then you can apply the binary files over the top of that installation.
Comments
The DB upgrade instructions neglect to mention that you only need to run CS20085_SP2_4.1.40402.4139.update.sql; the rest of the scripts are for other purposes. (*Remember to back up your DB first!)
Just to be clear.
