    Are there any instructions for upgrading from Debian 7 to 8 with regards to ispconfig?
    Is it safe to just update the normal way (changing the apt sources to jessie and running apt-get dist-upgrade) without messing up ispconfig?

    The upgrade steps are:
    1) Update Debian the normal way.
    2) Run a ISPConfig Update with "reconfigure services".
    3) Login to ISPConfig, go to tools > Resync, select websites and run a resync on all sites.

    Thanks Till
    What should I answer when asked about modified files? Keep the existing version or replace with package maintainers?
    How do I run a ISPConfig Update with "reconfigure services" From the commandline using ispconfig_update or from the web interface?

    I would keep the current files.

    From shell. ISPConfig can not be updated from within the web ui.

    Do I have to run the script with an argument?
    If I just ren ispconfig_update.sh then the output just tells me that ispconfig is up to date then quits.

    Code:
    cd /tmp
    wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
    tar xvfz ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
    cd ispconfig3_install/install
    php -q update.php
