Upgrade path from 5.2.14 to 6.1

1

What is the suggested 'upgrade path' from 5.2.14 to 6.1.0. I copied my var folder to the 6.1 site and 'upgrade' is not even showing. Does python version matter? My 6.1 uses Python 3.13 (which is supposed to work. Should I for example go to 6.0 with python 3.8 or 3.9 first, then go to 6.1 with python 3.12 or lower?

UPDATE: I have now discovered that 'upgrade' might not be available on 'front page' of Zope / Plone 6.1, but the link will show in 'overview controlpanel' (or one can (maybe) just go to /Plone/@@plone-upgrade

the content of the site is there? I don't think there's no upgrade, did you view the Zope root? It would show your sites with an upgrade button.

No, it just shows 'view' (and I get a waitress error if I try to go to it in ZMI.

was 5.2.14 on python 2.7? Did you read:

I installed one instance of 5.2 with python 2.7 (and upgraded from 5.1.6) then used zopeupdate to convert the Data.fs to Python 3 and installed another 5.2 with python 3. So far so good (I can access the content, only 'bad' is that the image scales are gone'.

But, if I move this to 6.1 I can only see 'view' for the Plone site in root and if I try to go to it in zmi waitress just gives an (not useful error). I am now trying to go via 6.01 with python 3.8 and upgrade there first.

UPDATE: I can confirm that 'upgrade' is avlable in 6.02 with python 3.8 (but I get another error). Will report back

See official documentation.

I ended up with making a new Plone (6) site and copying the content over and then upgrading to 6.1 (after upgrading first to 6.0 / 3.8 the 'upgrade' was avalable (but did not finish)
