Don't forget to replace the Web UI frontend files!
There were some changes there too...

Maybe somebody could help newbies like me a bit more with this upgrade.

For the frontend and the Zabbix server itself, which files need to be replaced?

You can get these files from the compiled binaries?

Here's the doc files link: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation.php
To sum it up, the upgrade from minor versions (e.g. from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2) is usually done by compiling the new version and installing it: "make install"
Then you copy the frontend files from the ./frontends/php/ dir in the unpacked archive into your older version's web frontend directory, overwriting the old files there. All your configuration and databases should stay intact this way but backup should always be done in advance of course.

Ok thanks a lot.
All the manual has to say is: You may use pre-compiled binaries or compile your own.
And about the qui: Follow Installation Instructions.
Not very helpful for a novice.

I couldn't get the installation from source done after many attemps (the server service was not running, directories where missing etc) so I used a .deb package which installed correctly without any problems.
I hope it will work with an installation which was not done from source.
