Updating ISPConfigs live systems

Hi

I am running ISPConfig on 2 machines that are live systems. One system is CentOS 4.3 running ISPConfig ver. 2.2.3 other CentOS 4.4 running ISPConfig ver. 2.2.8. I want to know how safe is to update those versions to newest 2.2.8, or was there any sideeffects and unwanted bugs.
Anyways i am pleased with work of the current versions but i would also like to stay up-to-date

Thanks

Tomislav

 

Just install the newest version upon existing one, ISPConfig will know that there are already existing prior installations and will reconfigure properetly.
For any case I suggest backup prior upgrade.

 

Hmm i am having a great deal of problem here, i run the upgrade and all went okay and stoped at last point compiling. This is the error when i restarted the ispconfig server

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server: line 65: /root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl: No such file or directory
ISPConfig system stopped!
Starting ISPConfig system...
/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server: line 45: /root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl: No such file or directory
/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server: line 47: /root/ispconfig/php/php: No such file or directory
ISPConfig system is now up and running!

It looks like the httpd and php moved

i am missing the web interface, mail service runs okay. I tried to restart ispconfig instalation but it didnt gave me an upgrade option

here is the log
