Ok, that seems to have worked! I get logged in with my old username and password. It looks good so far - though I have not yet tested functionality. A quick question - is the old crontab still valid? Or do I have to redo it all? -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV”

Crumb! I may just bite the bullet and do a fresh install. Since I have not yet deployed, I have that option. And it may be a good way for me to learn the system better anyway. On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 8:49 AM, Michiel Beijen wrote: > Alan, > > Actually, I don't understand where the error messag

Alan, Actually, I don't understand where the error message you get, "Message: Can't remove shm for log: Operation not permitted" comes from. I understand that OTRS tries to do a Kernel::System::Log Cleanup () but why it can't do that, beats me. If there is anyone other who'd like to help you with

Yikes! *) Run the migration script (as OTRS user, _not_ as root): You must execute the migration script to migrate some data from the old database structure to the new one. Please run $OTRS_HOME/scripts/DBUpdate-to-2.4.pl! I think my problem is that this step actually has to come first : *

Yup. Of course, then you'd have files that are removed from OTRS since 2.3.4 still in your installation. But I guess it is the best you could do and it would work. (please don't forget to follow the other steps from UPGRADING such as the database update) But if anyone has a better idea, I'd be ope

Hi Allan, Well, if you had an installation from source there will be no OTRS services running; I guess you could stop apache and perhaps the cron jobs. The trick of "just point the symlink to the new version" does not work with OTRS as this inconveniently does NOT keep its configuration files in

Hi Alan, Of course you can upgrade your existing installation! Follow the steps you find here: http://source.otrs.org/viewvc.cgi/otrs/UPGRADING?revision=1.35&view=co As you might have noticed; 2.4.2 is just released, fixing a couple of bugs in 2.4.1; you might go with that. Kindest regards, --
