Scalix Forums

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade a live installation of Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 5.
The reason being to upgrade Scalix Server 10 to 11.
I understand version 11 isn't supported on Fedora Core 4?

When upgrading Fedora

it fails:


The problem I have is exactly as described here:
viewtopic.php?t=3392

This topic says that upgrade from 10 to 11 isn't supported - but I guess that's just because that was for a beta version!

I have tried finding a guide to this upgrade process on the forums but failed. Can someone point me in the first direction or help out?
Thanks

Might be bad form to reply to my own message.... but....

1) Uninstall Scalix 10 (rpm --erase ?)?
2) Upgrade to FC5 (yum -y upgrade)?
3) Install Scalix 11?

Is this safe? (on a live server)
Will it retain all user settings and data?
Will all the Scalix 10 data be automatically converted during the install of 11?

Problem is that this is on a server in a hosting centre (many miles away!) and I suddenly need to do this due to the "timebomb" in the Outlook connector.
See: viewtopic.php?t=8036

Clients have downloaded and are using the version 11 connector on a version 10 server. This timebomb which has suddenly happened seems to leave me with no choice but to upgrade immediately.

I can't find suitable documents for this -
Has anyone had experience of the same upgrade?

Thanks

have a look at this post it may be helpful, apparently you need to uninstall scalix 10 before the upgrade to fedora 5

Thanks for the pointer.

Ran through this as described and all worked fine.

You do need to remove Scalix first.
I ran

and then an rpm --erase on the listed components

This would enable the upgrade from FC4 to FC5 to work correctly (unless you have other software you may also need to remove)

Then do a fresh install of Scalix 11 - it automatically picks up the old data.
