Hi,
I have a client who needs to upgrade from Magento 2.2 to Magento 2.4.2. Initial estimates from the Magento partner managing the site are in the range of 10-12 weeks (man days). Can anyone share their experience and how this figure might be realistic? It seems very high.
Thanks and regards
Ian

Hello @ianbradleyc21a
Upgrading from Magento 2.2 to 2.4 sometimes challenging. We usually say major version upgrade.
So there are chances the time they suggested is ok in terms of days.
In terms of estimation, I can't say for sure, how much they are charging.
You can try to reach out to other agencies too to understand the process and estimates.
Upgrade Magento Version from 2.3.X to 2.4.0
Step 1: If you are directly performing the upgrade on your live site then first put your site into maintenance mode by running below command.
1 | php bin/magento maintenance:enable |
Step 2: If you are performing the upgrade on your local system then you can skip step 1 and start with step 2.
Take a backup of the composer.json
1 | cp composer.json composer.json.bak |
Step 3: Install the Composer update plugin
1 2 3 | composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin=~1.0 --no-update composer update |
Step 4: Update composer.json file with latest version. In our case, it is Magento Version 2.4.0. Navigate to your Magento 2 installation root path and run below command
1 | composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.4.0 --no-update |
Step 5: Run below command
1 | composer update |
This command will take some time to finish. This command will actually download all the required packages and upgrade your Magento version from 2.3.x to 2.4.0. After this command finish, run below commands
Step 6: Clear cache and regenerate code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | php bin/magento cache:clean rm -rf var/cache/* rm -rf var/page_cache/* rm -rf generated/code/* php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento setup:di:compile php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f |
Step 7: Disable maintenance mode
1 | php bin/magento maintenance:disable |
I recommend you to contact this Landofcoder Company for check with them.
