hi Brian,
Version 1.5.4 has been very stable in my installation for some time.
thanks for choosing ADS :)
I would like to upgrade to 1.5.5 just to keep the system tidy and up to
date, but I am also keen to look at the new journal feature.
upgrading is a good thing but the journal feature is in a experimental state at
the moment
and I think it remains so till the version 2.0 comes out
I don't use replication, but I have a customised schema and quite a lot
of entries. Doing a clean installation and a fresh populate of my
directory is too much work to contemplate at this time, so I did some
digging on the web site.
Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I couldn't find anything about
how to upgrade from 1.5.4 to 1.5.5... I can see from the changelog that
server.xml is different. Is there a simple upgrade path for me?
sadly no, however I suggest that you to do it in two steps
1. Tweaking new server.xml to fit to your existing setup (feel free to talk to
us if you have any q/issues)
2. Take a LDIF export of the existing data and import into the new server
As I said above, feel free to talk to us here on ML or on #apache-directory on
irc.freenode.net
related to any questions/issues you face while modifying 1.5.5 server.xml to
fit your existing server setup
