Hello Steve,

I have previously tried to follow the upgrade document but my server keeps 
dying when I upgrade.
Any more details ?

If I was to take a backup and DB dump from 4.7.0 and install 5.0.2 on a new 
server is it possible to just copy the backup files onto the new server and 
over write the files creating during the 5.0.2 installation?
I'm not sure of which backup files you are talking about.

Cheers!
dw.

Steve,

I need to upgrade from 4.7.0 to 5.0.2.
Which is great ! ;)

The method I would like to use is to set up a new server running 5.0.2 and then 
import my settings from 4.7.0.

Is it possible to do it this way?
If you do not have any custom code (modified PacketFence codebase outside of 
extension points and outside of configuration parameters), that shouldn’t be 
too hard to do. Make sure to make a backup of the /usr/local/pf directory, 
along with a dump of the DB.

Once done, upgrade the codebase and go through the UPGRADE guide to make sure 
you pay attention to each configuration parameters that may have changed. Do 
not forget about the DB schema upgrade (documented in the upgrade guide)


Cheers!
dw.
