Re: [rt-users] RT upgrade or clean installation? (Debian)
I have migrated RT to a new box/OS multiple times in our years of use. What I do is spin up a VM with my OS of choice and install the exact same version of RT as my old server. I then dump the DB and import into the new server and verify data is correct and RT is operational.Lastly, I proceed with the upgrade to the latest version of RT. It has always been pretty painless but I don't have a lot of customization in RT.

Re: [rt-users] RT upgrade or clean installation? (Debian)
||Hi Klaus, Recently, i've upgrade own RT from 4.0.6 to 4.4.0 and OS to jessie too. I've made a fresh install of Debian Jessie, install RT from the source (not from the deb), dump the old RT database to the new server, and apply these scripts to upgrade the database : rt-setup-database --action upgrade --force --skip-create --upgrade-from 4.0.6 --upgrade-to 4.3.13 I my case, it was necessary to re-run the "content" one shot (4.0.9 & 4.1.4) because they failed in the first execution time. rt-setup-database --action insert --datafile etc/upgrade/4.0.9/content --skip-create rt-setup-database --action insert --datafile etc/upgrade/4.1.4/content --skip-create Upgrade somethings perl -I ~/rt/lib/ etc/upgrade/time-worked-history perl -I ~/rt/lib/ etc/upgrade/vulnerable-passwords --fix Update you RT_SiteConfig.pm like it was describe in the documentation And it was a success !
