I’ve seen many links to the page with upgrading 2 and higher or to 2, but how do I upgrade to 1.7.3?
Thanks

I figured out how to upgrade, but got stuck at 1.6.4
Error Number: 1060
Description: Duplicate column name 'last_author_id'
Query: ALTER TABLE `exp_templates` ADD `last_author_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AFTER `edit_date`All I got from then on at my site was a blank page.
Reading in the archives, I tried commenting out lines in update165, then I got other errors.
Finally edited the config to 1.6.5 as that worked for some people and all the updates ran fine, I optimized the tables, deleted the updates directory and update.php, but I still get only blank pages for my blog. No errors, just blank pages.
Now what?

Have you asked our paid support team for help, Christin? https://support.ellislab.com/

No, I didn’t want to pay for support.

You don’t have to, we grandfathered all of our customers over the last ten years to have three months free of the Silver plan. Just add it to your cart, no new license purchase is necessary.

Well, that sounds great and it’s the first I hear about ANY free support for EE 1.
So I just placed the order, thanks.
