Hello,
I currently have RT v4.0.7 installed on a Debian server (RT was
installed from Debian repositories). For various reasons, I need to
put RT onto a new server, and was going to stick with Debian, but
instead of using RT from the repositories, I am planning on doing a
source install (the repositories are not updated very often, and doing
a source install will be easier to keep RT updated, IMO)
I am wondering what the best way to go about this is. I am seeing two
ways to do this:
1.) Install RT v4.0.7 on the new server, then import current
configs and database. Once confirmed all is working properly, perform
upgrade to v4.0.17. Or
2.) Install RT v4.0.17 on new server. Import configs and database
from current 4.0.7 server. Jump to the database schema upgrade part
of the "upgrade" instructions
The second option would of course be easier and more efficient, as it
eliminates a step, and it seems to me that it should work, since it
seems the biggest part of upgrading RT seems to be the database schema
part; I just don;t know if there might be any "gotchas" doing it that
way.
What would be the best/recommended way to go?
Thanks! :-)
