Re: Upgrading from cakePHP version 1.3 to 2.5

Follow the documentation (http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/appendices.html), and perhaps use dereuromarks upgrade plugin (https://github.com/dereuromark/upgrade).

Since you're going through all the releases from 1.3 to 2.5, make sure to read the all the guides first, before changing any code.  Just so you know to move away from things like Set (use Hash instead), etc.

Also remember to get fresh copies of things like Config/core.php, Config/bootstrap.php, webroot/index.php and webroot/test.php, and update with any settings from your old release. Because these items are application level, rather than core, they often get missed when automatic updates get applied.

I would also consider installing CakePHP via composer, in preparation for CakePHP 3.0.  Plus is just makes dependency management and upgrades for PHP vendor code so much easier.

I just did the 1.3 to 2.4 upgrade (for the second time) a couple of months ago.  The automation tools make it really easy, but you'll need to manually do stuff like authentication, since it has received a major change between releases (but for the better).
