Uprade from 0.8.6h to 0.8.6i

Post by devinatencio »

I am currently running Cacti 0.8.6h and I was wondering how simple it would be to upgrade to 0.8.6i. I looked at the docs for upgrading it talked about dropping database and redoing them but that sounded a bit extreme. So just wanted any feedback before trying to upgrade.

You should backup your database and your Cacti installation.

Then simply place the 0.8.6i version of Cacti in place, point it at the database and the next time you access the web interface, it will prompt you to upgrade.

You should also disable the poller while you are doing this.

Does this procedure also apply if upgrading from 0.8.6g to 0.8.6i?

D/l a copy of plugin arch (1.0) if you use any plugins.
