    I was wondering if upgrading a server running ISPconfig 3.0.1.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04 is supported?

    If so is there anything special I need to know?

    If not, is there any indication for when this will be supported?

    Thanks!

    I haven't tried (tried this with an ISPConfig 2 server only where I had no problems), but I think it should work. If you want to go sure, make a backup before the upgrade (e.g. with SystemImager, Ghost4Linux or Clonezilla).

    I just tried this by doing the following. (It is not reccommended to do this by ssh.)

    apt-get install update-manager-core
    do-release-upgrade

    1 package to be deleted
    36 packages to be installed
    394 packages to be upgraded

    Download size 269M

    I will post further results in about 1 -2 hours.

    During the upgrade I was given a few options.

    1. I kept the currently installed version of /etc/mysql/my.cnf (default)
    2. I kept the currently installed version of /etc/apache2/ports.conf (default)
    3. I kept the currently installed version of /phpmyadmin/apache.conf (default)
    4. I choose NO to configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common.
    5. I deleted obsolete packages
    6. Restarted the computer.

    Now I have incoming E-mail broke. Please see following post


    Good Luck.

    1st problem with upgrade

    It seems that I found my first problem with the upgrade.
    incoming mail is not working. This is what I see in my ispc cron log.

    /bin/sh: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/run-getmail.sh: Permission denied

    I tried to log in as root and run script and got this error.

    /usr/share/getmail4/getmailcore/baseclasses.py:26: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
    import sets
    Error: configuration file /etc/getmail/*.conf does not exist

    I have lots of mail showing in mail queue. something similar to.

    BF118E05B 4637 Tue May 5 11:12:33 MAILER-DAEMON
    (connect to cluster-b.mailcontrol.com[85.115.56.190]:25: Connection timed out)
    [email protected]



    I don't know where to go from here.
    Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    resolved

    The upgrade removed several files including the /tmp dir where ISPConfig was originally downloaded.

    I downloaded ispconf again and reinstalled.
