Howdy All,
Sorry - Pressed wrong button,
Anyway - I was looking for a quick howto on this upgrade and did not see one. I did see some pointers that got me through it but thouth I would write this up for future users.
I am using ubuntu 6.06 and I am still a newbie at this. I am using the server with embeded-db to make my life easier. here is my complete upgrade process:
cd /tmp
wget http://www.jivesoftware.org/builds/wildfire/wildfire_3_0_1.tar.gz
gunzip wildfire_3_0_1.tar.gz
tar -xvf wildfire_3_0_1.tar
mkdir /bak
cp -r /opt/wildfire /bak/wildfire
cd /opt/wildfire/bin
./wildfire stop
cp -r /tmp/wildfire /opt/
cp /bak/wildfire/conf/wildfire.xml /opt/wildfire/conf/wildfire.xml
cp -r /bak/wildfire/embedded-db /opt/wildfire
cd /opt/wildfire/bin
./wildfire start
Just tested it out andf works fine - Hope this helps other newbies like me.

tar -xvzf wildfire___*.tar.gz
no need of gunzip
You should stop wildfire first and then make a backup, to be sure all cached info was written to a DB.
And you dont need to copy db again, because there is no embedded-db dir in tar.gz package.
Well, some what i have a similar upgrade steps list. Just i’‘m too lazy to write all commands (even with command completion ), so i use mc for all move/copy steps. And i’'m deleting everything in install dir except embedded-db, logs and conf. So when i copy only other dirs. Also i was leaving plugins dir and overwriting it. But last time i just reinstalled all plugins i need via Admin Console.
