Double upgrade - Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and ispCP 2.03 to 2.05 - crafter - 05-12-2010 08:32 AM
Hi
My live server requires two upgrades:-
- Ubuntu 8.04 need to upgrade to 10.04
- ispCP 2.03 must upgrade to 2.05
I'm not sure which I should upgrade first.
An alternative is to upgrade the operating system, then do a fresh install of ispCP 2.05. The biggest issue is to retain the email user accounts and passwords. However, I'm not too sure of all the steps I need to take to save the accounts from 2.03 and load them into 2.05.
Can anyone provide some pointers to do this, or point out things that I should be aware of before embarking on this exercise.
Regards
Pradesh

First upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 then upgrade IspCP to 1.0.5. This is my advice. But make sure you back-up everything that you need.

I would love to know too, I am going to perform a similar double upgrade on a Debian server tomorrow at 1200GMT. Ensuring every single thing is backed up caused a marathon of file transfers and MySQL backup downloads. I hope its as easy and uneventful as I anticipate it being lol
EDIT - I have now completed the upgrade(s) and it went as planned, I made this post shortly after:

i did an update, debian and ispcp to 1.0.5
now i need to crontab the iscp-rqst-mngr
1 advice, Testdrive your whole setup on a virtual machine on your local pc if you can, else its possible you have to join our new group, the peeps with the iscp-rqst-mngr problems...

I eventually took the plunge and updated. (I had to wait for a long weekend) when there was little risk of user interruption). The upgrade was remote via SSH.
First tip:
Keep a journal, or open a text editor where you can write things down - passwords, pathnames etc. Copy and paste any messages you feel are important.
The install to ubuntu from 8.04 to 10.4 went ok. I followed the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades
NOTE: I was tense about the warning about the /boot/grub/menu.lst but this went without problem. You may just need to recheck if you are unsure.
I decided to upgrade to ispcp-omega-1.0.6.tar.gz, according to the instructions here:
http://isp-control.net/documentation/start:installation:ubuntu
However, I found the document doc/Ubuntu/INSTALL to be a far greater source of information and recommend this.
I downloaded the ubuntu-packages-lucid.txt file attached here:
http://isp-control.net/forum/thread-10745-post-81799.html#pid81799
and copied it to
docs/Ubuntu/ubuntu-packages-lucid
so that step 3 on the WIKI page could continue.
In step 8, I ran
perl ispcp-update
instead of
perl ispcp-setup

An upgrade of a piece of software of this nature will always be dangerous. Are you saying that you need to upgrade the OS, ispCP or both over ssh?
RE: Double upgrade - Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and ispCP 2.03 to 2.05 - multimatica - 12-04-2010 03:19 AM
The two, through ssh.
The server is in other country.

Upgrading ispCP over SSH shouldn't be a problem, I've done that before. Upgrading the OS might be as there could be situations where the server will not respond if something goes wrong. In that kind of situation, only your hosting provider could help you as console access would be needed.
