bad idea.  You should follow www.lifewithqmail.org and then read vpopmail's 
INSTALL file.  Anywho, you've already shot yourself in the foot, so let's see 
if we can't bandage your wound.

vpopmail is a set of tools that helps with creating and administering virtual 
domains with qmail.  upgrading to a newer version simply upgrades the tools 
involved.

 or I don't know what configuration parameter should I use?

if you still have your old vpopmail source around (you DO still have your old 
sources around, right?) then take a look at config.status to see what you ran 
for your ./configure.  Also, this points out another problem with using 
installation tools and 'toasters' *shudder* in that you end up not knowing 
what you have on your system.

the new version of vpopmail will yell at you if you try to use configuration 
options that have been obsoleted, and will point you in the direction of the 
new versions of those configuration options.

 what's the best safe step for upgrading to vpopmail-5.4?

./configure  make  make install

however, that might not work for you, if say.. you're using mysql, etc.  Of 
course, you should know how your system is set up, so that should be 
obvious :)

Thanks a lot, I found below statements:

#! /bin/sh
# Generated automatically by configure.
# Run this file to recreate the current configuration.
# This directory was configured as follows,
# on host localhost.localdomain:
#
# ./configure  --enable-roaming-users=n
#
# Compiler output produced by configure, useful for debugging
# configure, is in ./config.log if it exists.

in the /usr/local/src/qinstall/vpopmail-5.2/config.status

the questions are:
1. Is it safe for me to run ./configure --enable-roaming-users=n   for
upgrading to vpopmail-5.4 ?
2. Do I have chance to roolback to vpopmail-5.2 if something happen? .. if
so how to rollback ..

I need advise

thanks a lot in advance

Winanjaya

Because it messes up the flow of reading.
 How come?
  I prefer to reply inline.
   What do you do instead?
No.

ok, great.

I don't see why it wouldn't be.

 2. Do I have chance to roolback to vpopmail-5.2 if something happen? .. if

sure.  make sure to keep your old vpopmail sources around, and simply do a 
'make install' on them if something breaks.

Hi,

Although Jeremy is better equipped than I to answer, you will not lose 
any mailboxes by simply upgrading vpopmail.


You may how ever have to re-compile and re-install other programs that 
rely on vpopmail libraries, including but not limited to


courier-imap
qmail (if you have vpopmail specific patches installed)
sqwebmail
qmailadmin

As it is that time of the season for me, I would be more than happy to 
help you upgrade to the latest version if you wish (which may mean 
access to your system) for no charge tomorrow, or at least scope out 
your system and tell you what may need upgrading in addition to vpopmail.


If you do take me up on the offer, I do ask that you visit 
http://www.childsplaycharity.org and make a donation though :)


Regards,

Rick
