I have in the company Openfire 4.1.4, installed on the Linux Virtual Server Ubuntu Server 64Bits. Openfire is associated with AD / DC, users and groups are all Active Direct.
What would be the step by step to carry out the update? Can I run from above without risk of losing information, groups, contacts, filing conversations?
If you can not explain it here in the community, where can I find the step by step? Thank you in advance.
Can’t give the exact steps, as i don’t use it on Ubuntu. But you should stop Openfire (the service) and then run the installer (same as with your first installation). It should upgrade on top and all the data and settings should stay in tact. Of course, do backups first.
Hello! I was trying to upgrade from 3.10.2 to the latest (4.1.5).
I successfully completed this tasks:
1. Backup
2. Stop the openfire service
But when I execute: rpm -ivh openfire-4.1.5-1.x86_64.rpm
multiple errors are shown, telling me that several files in the installations are in “conflict” with the file of the package openfire-3.10.2-1.i386
Wroot, Daryl Herzman, thank you!
Daryl, I just did: rpm -e openfire-3.10.2-1
but I got another error that says that this package is needed by elastix-im-2.5.0-1.noarch
I guess I didn’t tell you that I want to upgrade Openfire on an Elastix PBX implementation… It is safe to “force” some how the uninstall of openfire-3.10.2-1 and then installing the newest release?
You should be careful here as it appears you have some vendor provided version of elastix-im. Do you know whom provided you that RPM? Perhaps you should ask them about if it is OK to update Openfire.
