The rule of thumb is to always to a fresh clean installation when
upgrading from a major version (eg 5.x to 6.x). Make a backup of your
configuration files. Presumably, your /home and/or /var/www directories
are on their own file systems -- this makes things easier, althogh for a
production server environment, you really want to do a fresh install on
a fresh 'machine' (or virtual host), and then migrate services and
content, testing as you go.
