It's a shame to not go straight to 4.0. There would be some additional complications but its a vastly better platform. If time is of the essence, 3.0 will be a simpler upgrade. > My plan atm is to create a new site on the version 3 installation and > then replace the db created for this site with the db of the clients > current site.

Running them will have no impact on surrounding projects. I would recommend: - leave 2.0 site running - copy 2.0 code base to new 3.0 location ie. with FarCry core 3.0.2 - copy the the 2.0 database and hook up the newly minted 3.0 version - run the updaters from your version of 2.x to 3.02 - test, when you're happy cut over to the 3.0 version Make sure you only run the updaters you need to. ie. those higher than your current implementation. Even a half baked, shot in the head, semi converted 2-3 site should not impact the other 3.0 sites on the box; provided you don't take down CF somehow ;) So you should be able to muck around to get the thing going, implement a new design and so on.
