If the only server application is Cyrus then you might as well export the cyrus databases, make a clean install and then restore and import the cyrus databases. On the other hand, I just upgraded from 10.0 to 10.3, and the Cyrus/Postfix/Amavis/saslauthd combination was upgraded perfectly. > If I don't change boxes, I won't be able to have both installs running > at the same time, so how do I move the files, or more specifically, > which files do I move? /etc/cyrus.conf /etc/imapd.conf /etc/sasl2/ /etc/pam.d/* (common*, login, imap, sieve, smtp) /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd /var/lib/imap (where the databases are) /var/lib/sieve (where the compiled sieve scripts are stored) /var/spool/imap (where the actual mailboxes are) /usr/lib/sasl2/ (cyrus sasl libs for authentication mechanisms) I think it is easier to update the installation. -- Sandy List replies only please!
