Upgrade from Liferay 6.0.6 to 7 in a different server.

Hi. We want to upgrade Liferay 6.0.6 to Liferay 7. But we want to have the new Liferay 7 in a different server, but with the same information and graphics.
Which one is the easier and faster way to make this change of version to our new server? Thanks a lot for your help emoticon

Hi Carlos,

I guess you want to have two environments, one with 6.0.6 and another with 7, this one with an upgraded database from your current one in 6.0.6. If this is the case, you just need to get a backup of your current database and filesystem for the document library and upgrade following this article:
https://dev.liferay.com/discover/deployment/-/knowledge_base/7-0/upgrading-to-liferay-7

Once you have upgraded the database and DL, you will need to startup your server with Liferay 7 using that data. Now you will have two servers, Liferay 6.0.6 and Liferay 7.

I hope it helps.

Best regards.
