Topic: "yum update" to upgrade SME 9.1 to 9.2?

[DanB35]

I just wanted to verify, because the wiki page (https://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:9.2) isn't quite clear: to upgrade from SME 9.1 to 9.2, it's just a matter of a "yum update", right?  There's nothing special that needs to be done with yum?  Obviously contribs and custom modifications (i.e., custom templates) need to be considered, but assuming a clean system.

Correct

Added: added edited note and caveat to wiki

they should be all referenced here: https://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:9.2#Known_issues_when_upgrading_from_previous_SME9.x
Bug number were omitted, but you have at least majors caveats and workarounds or solutions.

Thank you, that's very helpful!

There is a big upgrade to the mail system in 9.2 so in particular make sure you update the mail contribs if installed or your mail will break

and make sure you don't have any qpsmptd custom fragments too

Yes - I forgot to mention that little gotcha !

Any success stories...

I updated three SMEs 9.1 via yum update to become SME 9.2, no issues at all. However there are "simple" file servers with Windows DC, so no gateway, nor email servers.

And I have upgraded 6 SME 9.1 to SME 9.2 with no problems.
All were simple fileservers.
The only contribs are AFFA, Hardware info, Diskusage  and Fetchmail (not using fetchmail for much at all)

I did what was suggested with the contribs - made sure they were the latest version.

After 2 weeks, still no problems.

Ah, what a happy little bunny I am!

Cheers

Three 9.1s to 9.2..none use mail

Only contribs between the three, shared folders, logwatch, fail2ban, joomla, CMSimple,

No issues all updated fine..just added Softether VPN to two of above, there is a gotchas with that, just a config issue, will be added to wiki

Otherwise L is G

Just success stories: I went around updating every SME server we administrate over the last weekend due to Wannacry (just as a precaution) and they all upgraded to SME 9.2 without issue. I did have to reconfigure some of them twice to clear the 'reconfigure required' message.

Logwatch mails its results to the email address set for admin, just set it in server-manager for the user admin. Return line 69 to its original setting -    $Config{'mailto'} = "root";

The wiki does not say to modify that setting.
