Hi,
I've been putting off upgrading my RT 3.8.4 to current because I always
got stuck. Now I can't put it off any more. I have read lost about
upgrading but I don't want to upgrade the current server/installation, I
want to move it to a brand new server and OS.
From what I've read it seems that the best approach might be to:
1. make a clone of the existing RT,
2. upgrade it to 4.0.13
3. do a mysqldump on the upgraded clone
4. restore the dump on the new server.
It's the details of step 4 I'm concerned about. If I set up the
database on the new server and restore it from the dump do I then use
make upgrade on the new server? I don't understand what the right
process would be to make sure the new server has mailgate, users etc and
can accept the dump.
Do I configure the whole new RT instance as though it were a new install
then try to migrate my data or should it be and 'upgrade' even though
it's new?
I apologise if this is a dumb question or if it's covered somewhere in
the docs - the whole task of upgrading from 3.8.4 has been overwhelming
and I've been avoiding it.
