Upgrading from 7.x to 8.x
« on: June 16, 2011, 08:40:16 PM »
I have two questions about upgrading to 8.x

1) Before upgrading I know I will need to remove php5-cgi.
I have a lot of i-bays, and over they years, for some of them I enabled php5-cgi and for some of them not. At this point I don't remember all the i-bay I have enabled php5-cgi for.

My question is, how do I find out which i-bays have php5-cgi enabled for them so I can run a command to return to default version of PHP?

2) What is the "safer" or recommended upgrade method, using CD or YUM?

Both should be equal, but during beta stages upgrade paths are not checked so errors could be possible. I suggest you make a proper backup before doing so.

Thank you cactus for your reply.

How about my first question, does anybody know how to find out which i-bays have php5-cgi enabled for them?

a dirty trick
Code: [Select]
db accounts show | grep -B15 -i php5 | grep '=ibay'
