Upgrading geoserver from 2.7.1 to the latest version

Hi we are in the process of Updating our GIS infrastructure. Is it possible to update from version 2.7.1 to version 2.26 in one easy step. I can remember reading before that a step this big is to much and it would have to be done once version at a time. Is this still correct? are there any guides on this?

I suspect that no one has done such a large jump, I would try to make it in one step and if that fails try it in two steps or more until it does work. Make sure you have a back up first of course.

I agree with Ian’s guidance, lease pay careful attention to each “gotcha” listed here: Upgrading existing versions.

You can see that a few versions have “notes on upgrading specific versions”. I recommending pausing and testing on each one of these just to be sure.
