Hi
Sluggers:
Other than having my
own personal use
of Red Hat at
home, I also have a live server of my
own
running Red Hat 7.1 and Apache across the
internet. The server
is located in the US, but I manage
it here at home in
Aussie land.
Does anyone have any
experience in upgrading a live
server that they can
give me some tips ?
My aim is to upgrade
the OS from Red Hat 7.1
to Red Hat 8.0, and
also upgrade the Apache
web server with the
version that comes with RH 8.0
as
well.
I have never done
this before, and do not want to
mess things up that
will bring down the live server.
I want all my
softwares, Perl scripts, cron tasks, telnet, ftp, etc...,
and the domains
residing on the server still functioning properly
after this
upgrade.
I can give the
upgrade a go from my home setup
but don't know if it
will have the same effect when
I upgrade the live
one.
If anyone has any
experience in this that they are willing
to share please give
me some pointers.
I don't think it's a
s simple as just doing the upgrade
option from red hat
install CDs.
Cheers
Louis.
