Chris,

In my case, I just did:

  - install james-2.1.2 into /opt/james-2.1.2
  - open current and new config.xml
  - view color coded difference (good tools help)
  - merge changes
    (in my case, a couple of lines)
  - delete environment.xml and assembly.xml
    (I wanted the new versions)
  - service james stop
  - change /opt/james symlink to reference /opt/james-2.1.2
  - mv /opt/james-2.1/apps/james /opt/james/apps
  - service james start

That was it.

Same situation i.e. newbie what do I do.  Did a quick search on upgrading
didn't find much.  Hopefully that is good...
I am using mysql on a win2k box.  I am installing using the binary.
Is it as simple as:
- copying the old directory.
- uninstalling james.
- installing the new binary.
- configuring the config.xml with the old information.
- (re)starting james..

That it?

Anything someone would recommend on backing up before the upgrade?  Or is
just copying the directory a good enough backup?
