[ic] Upgrading production 4.6.5 to 4.8.1

[Mike Eheler <meheler@searchbc.com>]

I have searched the archives of this list, and found one topic about 
upgrading, but dealt with just default/demo catalogs.

On our systems we have dozens of catalogs maintained by our users, and 
we would like to provide the most seamless upgrade possible. Ideally we 
want to completely replace our 4.6.5 server with 4.8.1, and as well 
completely upgrade the administrative interface.

I have done some test upgrades using very basic default installs of 
4.6.5's "construct" demo, and every time I did it, the store would work 
fine, but the admin would be broken.. either the colours would only be 
half changed, or in one test case (the one closest to an actual 
production upgrade), all of the toolbars in the admin interface were 
completely broken. Each bar simply had the word "line" and there were no 
images.

I have scoured the web for any kind of an upgrade doc from 4.6.5 to 
4.8.1, and have found nothing, other than a cryptic "Upgrade Guide" on 
redhat's site, and the less-than-usefull UPGRADE file that comes with 4.8.1.

Any help/experience notes/anything is greatly appreciated.
