Hello, I have read the documentation on upgrading and none of the particulars exactly fit.
I have a new VM (Centos6). I have installed RT 4.0.17 completely vanilla. Old mysql: mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.81, for unknown-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2 Old RT is 3.8.9 New mysql: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.66, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1 All has gone well. I have gotten as far as running make initialize-database. Now what? I am not clear if the next step is to take a dump of the running server and copy it to the new server then run update database? Do I need to do anything to the database before I use it? I see someone else doing this: > 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. Is it recommended to actually clone the old and upgrade it in place? Could I simply restore a backup from the old on the new and run make upgrade-database I know I will need to setup users, groups, cron, email and probably some other things as well. T hank you for your help.
