[BlueOnyx:16394] Re: Upgrading 5018 to 520x

Hi Richard,

> Is there a way currently to upgrade a VPS with 5108 to 520x?

Yes:

Step 1:
=======

Confirm that the box is actually a 5107R or 5108R. Because if it is not,
then the next steps *will* make it pretty *unusable*.

So confirm that the box is a 5107R *or* 5108R:

cat /etc/build

Check that it *DOES* say:

build ****** for a 5107R in en_US
build ****** for a 5108R in en_US

If it says "5107R" or "5108R" it's good for an upgrade. If it shows
anything else ... then DO NOT perform the next steps.

Especially DO NOT attempt to use the next steps on a 5106R.

Sorry for repeating myself here, but you know how it goes. Someone will
actually do it anyway (despite the warnings) and will kill his server. \o/

Step 2:
=======

Install the BlueOnyx 520XR Yum Repository config:

rpm -hUv
http://devel.blueonyx.it/pub/BlueOnyx/5200R/el6/blueonyx/i386/RPMS/blueonyx-yumconf-2.1.0-1.noarch.rpm

It doesn't matter if your box is 32-bit or 64-bit. This file is the same
for all 520XR architectures and will then use the correct YUM repository
for the upgrade and all subsequent updates.

Step 3:
=======

yum clean all
yum update

This will do the update to either 5207R or 5208R depending on your
architecture.

Step 4:
========

Run this script:

/usr/sausalito/sbin/SSL_fixer.pl

That will create the now necessary SSL Vhost containers for SSL enabled
Vsites.

Step 5:
========

Login to the GUI at the new URL:

http://<IP>:444/login
https://<IP>:81/login


Step 6:
=======

Enjoy.
