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
