sorry for the late reply.... I was busy with ma work.... I messed up the installation with the wrong version.
It got all fixed, I had to remove the new installation that was corrupt after copying the conf/ssl/etc.... and re-installed with new version, restored all the accounts (only about 12 accounts in this server, thank Lord for tat). They all worked fine. I understood the meaning of
BACKUP now.
This can be marked as solved.
