Hello, cyrus-imap-users (and -devs?), I subscribed to this list today because I am searching for some information around upgrading/migrating my cyrus-imap-server. Unfortunately I waited very long, hopefully not too long ... The old server runs Suse Linux 10.1 with these versions: # rpm -qa | grep cyrus cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-3 cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.21-3 cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-13 I have a few hundred accounts within web-cyradm, which means their passwords are stored encrypted (so the imapsync-approach is problematic). My goal is to migrate things over to a newer server running gentoo linux, the maintained version of cyrus-imapd there is 2.4.12 (the older 2.2.13 from a separate gentoo-overlay didn't compile for me). Moving the mysql-DB shouldn't be much of a problem, the web-cyradm tool runs on gentoo already. So my question is: how to move things in the most stress-free way? Could I simply copy over /var/spool/imap etc, and start the newer version? Do I have to somehow convert things? If yes, is it problematic? I am thinking about just trying it for a test, but I would really feel much better with some competent feedback from the cyrus-imap-community. Thanks a lot in advance, Stefan. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
