One piece of advice, make sure the SQL is backed up and open it with an
editor to check the CARTS table that your carts are in there.
If you backup the database from another workstation, or something on the
database machine has changed such as IP or hostname or user account since it
was first installed, the database may not backup correctly even though it
creates a file. So backup the database from the machine it resides on is my
advice.
Be prepared for something to go wrong. Have a good standby system of some
sort there to get you through for a good handful of hours if you're
upgrading exsisting software rather than setting up a new system side by
side. Murphy's law is all I can say.
As for mitigating everything else, more experienced users will reply too I'm
sure.
Cheers,
Gavin.

Subject: [RDD] Upgrading to Latest Appliance
Howdy folks-
Does anyone have experience in upgrading an existing system to the
latest appliance (i.e. from earlier appliance with CentOS 5 to latest
appliance with CentOS 6)? I'm looking to upgrade my system and
curious to know if there are any special steps that need to be taken
when restoring the MySQL to the newer appliance. Any advice or
redirects to articles/previous emails would be greatly appreciated.
To note, I have already referenced the Migrating Systems wiki article
however, that is for moving between the same version. I'm looking to
move to a newer version. If the steps are in fact the same, that's
fine, I just want to confirm before I lose the work I've put into it.
Thanks!
