Thanks a lot Peter , will give it a bash.

Also , should it not be more prudent to maybe start a FC rpm binary , as RH8.0 is rather old... any volunteers (I would but my packaging skills are limited as my time:P)

I use FC5 as well, but do not use the FC OTRS

Please read also the OTRS upgrading document !!

I would:
- backup the OTRS directory (/opt/otrs) and the OTRS (mysql) database
- remove/uninstall otrs-2.0.4-3.fc5
- rename the OTRS (mysql) database = OTRS directory probably in
/var/lib/mysql/ (to OTRS204 ?)
- install OTRS 2.1.5 RPM (do a complete fresh install)
- stop OTRS, Apache and MySQL (service otrs/httpd/mysqld stop)
- rename the new OTRS (mysql) database = OTRS directory probably in
/var/lib/mysql/ (to OTRS215 ?)
- make a new OTRS mysql directory (/var/lib/mysql/otrs)
- copy all the files (mysql tables/indexes/..) from ../mysql/OTRS204
directory in mysql/otrs directory
- copy your config.pm settings from the old 204 to the new config.pm (be
carefull and lookup your settings in the manual because some syntax is
changed)
- start mysql (service mysqld start)
- update the database changes (see OTRS upgrading document) !!!
- start apache (service httpd start), otrs (service otrs start)

Now you have a new 2.1.5 OTRS with all your old data
If you use the FAQs, you will have to install this module in 2.1.5
(Admin area / packages)

I tried/used this method for upgrading from 2.0.3, and it worked for
me....

Regards,
Peter

I am running otrs-2.0.4-3.fc5 on a (you guessed it) FC5 distro , can I use the Redhat RPM to upgrade or should i wait for the yum repositories to be updated?

Beugen, Peter van wrote:

Yes, I just ran the RPM

(First stopped Apache and OTRS, ran the RPM, started apache, started OTRS...)

For you safety you can (should?) of course backup the OTRS
directory....

Peter

How exactly did you do it? Just run the RPM as usual?

Changes in config.pm or made by the admin area (in ZZZauto.pm I think)

will not be lost !

I upgraded from 2.1.2 to .3, .4 and .5 and all my configed stuff was unchanged

Does anyone know how to manually upgrade from version 2.1.2 to 2.1.5? What files got changed and what the changes are? I don't want to download the entire rpm or risk loosing any config modifications that I already made.
