Just follow the directions in the latest release under:

Upgrading from XOOPS 2.0.* above 2.0.14 and 2.2.* (using the full package)

Before you do it:

* make a copy of you database and all files
* make a dry run on your local PC using WAMP or similar server and your real data from your server
* be aware that some of the old modules might not work, so you'll need to update them as well, or replace them with others

Give us a list of the modules you have and maybe we can help you with replacements.

But the most important thing - make a dry run on your local PC before you touch the real installation

No, no!!!

First you need to upgrade your 2.06 to 2.0.7 with the xoops-2.0.6-to-2.0.7.patch.tar.bz2

Then you need to follow the procedure listed under 'Upgrading from any XOOPS ranging from 2.0.7 to 2.0.13.2 (using the full package):' in the release notes of 2.4.5

Maybe try these procedures first on a copy or a restore on an internet server on your local PC (eg XAMPP) of your files and database.

Thanks Ghia for correcting me. I was too quick and didn't pay attention to the exact version number

If your site is simple and static, It may be worth considering installing a fresh 2.4.5 and import specific module. However if you have a lot of comments and complex module then need to upgrade (as suggested by Ghia/Mamba)

But try first on a test system

Good luck

I think he will need to find 2.0.6 to 2.0.7 upgrade. As he said in the first post the download links are not working. The page that it goes to does not have ANY upgrade packages, we need to fix this.

I see the link Ghia has posted, didn't see it at first. But those upgrade packages should be on Xoops or Sourceforge.

Good idea. I've just set up an Upgrade folder on SourceForge
