[SOLVED] Upgrade from 4.5.9 to 5.0.4?

[Igor Clark]

Hi there

We're currently running zcs-4.5.9_GA_1454.RHEL5_64 on CentOS 5 with no problems.

We'd like to upgrade to the 5.0.4 release, particularly for the Safari webmail support.

Is the correct approach just to download 5.0.4 and run the 'install.sh' script?

Thanks,
Igor

Welcome to the forums,
Don't forget to read the release notes & make a backup though!
Backup and Restore Articles - Zimbra :: Wiki

5.0.4 is live!

If you have any LDAP replicas you definitely should step through 4.5.11 first.
4.5.11 & 5.0.2 Released!

The Release Notes have a link to a wiki article requiring you to manually set LDAP passwords before doing the upgrade to version 5.

The first time we tested doing the upgrade (in a test environment, fortunately), we missed that part of the release notes and the upgrade completed with what looked like minor errors but the installation itself was pretty borked.

We have been running ZCS since version 4.0, and the jump from 4.5 to 5.0 is yards bigger than the jump from 4.0 to 4.5.

Even many here have had no upgrade issies whatsoever, if you can, I suggest attempting the upgrade in a replicated test environment before doing it in production.

Hope that helps,
Mark
