I used the plone unified installer for all my installs of the various versions. My server is Debian linux which may make that easier.

I found my notes but I think most of them are too specific to my situation to be useful for yours.

If helpful, my progression was:

3.2.2 to 3.3.5 (last 3.x release at the time I did this).

Then 3.3.5 to 4.0.8 (was most recent 4.x at the time I did this).

Then later on an upgrade to 4.3.7.

One thing I noticed was that I had several failures on startup of a new version, because of file permission issues. Perms after running buildout, for a few key pieces, were not set properly and so plone would fail to start up. Some examples from my notes:

---------------
perms issue on
/opt/Plone-4.3.7/zeocluster/var/filestorage/my-domain-filestorage
group needs write perms - did not have them from buildout creation of dir - fix by doing:
$ sudo chmod g+w
------------------

-------------------
Problem was file permissions in the log directories for server and client.
FIX:
User plone_daemon MUST own the paths to the log files, e.g.
/opt/Plone-4.3.7/zeocluster/var/client1/event.log
/opt/Plone-4.3.7/zeocluster/var/zeoserver/zeoserver.log'

For unknown reasons plone_buildout owned some of the dirs on the path.
Changing owner to plone_daemon fixed the issue.
If running buildout in future, check for what ownership is set...buildout may be doing this?

HTH,
John

  Thank you Jonh finally I was able install several versions,
4.1.6 and 4.2.5 I will try to update my  products for those versions.
I think the main problem was that many installations procedures do not work
in todays OS.
In my case I am using a macbook with Mojave and I couldn't install from the
source.
Fortunately, some  precompiled versions work.

If you have any usefull notes I will be glad to see it
Thank you
