Hi,
I'm running roundcube 0.3.1 on a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server and planning
to
set up a complete new Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with roundcube 0.7.1 at
another hoster (so there is no way just to make a dist upgrade).
Roundcube 0.3.1 was installed from the Ubuntu repository and because of
security updates I'd like to use Ubuntu packages on the new server too.
What would be a good way to migrated the mysql database from the old to
the new server? Just dump it, restore on the new server and then tell
the 0.7.1 to use this old database?
Cheers
Marcus
Yes Marcus, that's exactly how I'd do it regarding the database. Once
you have pointed RC at the database on the new host, either run the SQL
schema updates manually, or through the web-installed.
But regarding security updates, the Ubuntu packages are badly out-dated,
and the current stable release (0.9.4) has had numerous security issues
fixed over the old. So using the Ubuntu packages for "security" reasons
is counter-productive.
Also note that using the normal release Roundcube package is simple, as
everything is self-contained within the roundcubemail directory, rather
than split up all over the file system as the Ubuntu package does it.
This makes future upgrades simpler, and it is far easier to maintain a
current, secure version.
