Upgrade 3.4d to 4.2d

[mikeacain]

I have spent a week or so trying to get my head around upgrading from 3.4d to 4.2d and i'm not being very successful.

I have installed MySql 5.6 uploaded the alfresco tables I dumped from my 3.4d MySQL database.

I then installed Alfresco 4.2d but have been unsuccessful in getting Alfresco to correctly start after following all the upgrade instructions in the documentation and various blogs I have read

I also tried to upgrading to 4.0e first (which was successful) then upgraded to 4.2d and again couldn't get it start got the error See: http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/installation-upgrades-configuration-integration/installation-upgrad...

Is there a definitive way to do this upgrade that is successful?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Managed to get server up and running with 4.2d by disabling the ConfigurationChecker a work around described in
