I have Xymon 4.3.11 installed and would like to move to 4.3.15, but I do not see any upgrade doc. What is the proper method to do an upgrade from source ?
Do I uninstall the previous and install the new version? Should I just install the new over the old version, using the same config options ?
Best practices would be appreciated, since this is a Production environment. Centos 5.4 64 bit.
If it's EL5 you're using the RPMs on Terabithia, it's safe to do an update using rpm -U (or yum update). If it was a custom compile/tarball, I'd suggest a backup copy of your server directory and then a diff of the relevant config files to note any new/missing defaults (eg, the IMAGETYPE variables for non-gif icons).
Your data directories wouldn't need any modifications between 4.3.11 and 4.3.15 I don't think.
HTH,

Just wondering...when can/should we start looking for 4.3.15 packages on terabithia.org? The latest that I see, to this point, are for 4.3.13.
