Upgrading from Scalix 10 to Scalix 11

[souperdad]

I've read all of the postings and reccomendations for upgrading from Scalix 10 to Scalix 11 but my problem is this.

Our mail server is a 64bit server running Fedora 4 and Scalix 10. We are upgrading to a 32bit server running Red Hat ES 4 and Scalix 11. Normally you would just copy the /var/opt/scalix directory from the old server to the new server and run the installation. But the problem i that the old server is 64bit and the new server is 32bit. The new 32bit server recognizes the /var/opt/scalix directory and ask if I want to upgrade. When I say yes it fails part way through complaining that the existing directory is 64bit.

So my question is how do we get around this? Is the best way to use omcpoutu and export the malboxes and then import them on the new server or is there a better method?

How are you doing the "expot/import", You should just be able to copy /var/opt/scalix from old to new

Yes I've tried just copying /var/opt/scalix from the old to the new but the old was a 64bit server and the new is a 32bit server. When I try to run the install it sees the copy and tries to upgrade it but complains because the copy is from a 64bit server and the new is only a 32bit server.

Make sense?

Can you post the error log from /var/log so we can see what is failing?

I don't recall the exact error message as I had to find a different method to accomplish this upgrade. But I'm curious as to why this happens and if there's a way around it in case I come across this again.
