Amahi 4 to 5

The transition from Amahi 4 to Amahi 5 brought along many many improvements. Unfortunately, these make upgrading very very hard, so we only supported fresh intalls.

Quick and dirty guide on transitioning from Amahi 4.x to Amahi 5.x:

• Back up your data
• Back up your data
• Back up your data
• Back up the /var/hda/ directory (which includes your files, if you had them there)
• Back up your home directories under /home/*
• Back up your databases with the phpmyadmin app or the phpmybackup app.
• Install Fedora 12 with Amahi 5 fresh
• Recover your apps and their databases
• If you had any calendars they will be in the old /var/hda/calendar/html
  • you can use (cd /var/hda/calendar/html; tar -cvzf /tmp/calendars.tgz *) to back them up
  • to recover them in the new HDA, (cd /var/hda/calendar/html; tar -xzvf calendars.tgz)
• Restore your users and the settings you had before
