1.8.6 to 1.8.8

[markclark]

hi there,

not sure if im missing the obvious about doing an upgrade to the new release. ive gone to the following page and read through but for some reason Zabbix documentation never makes sense to me and always struggle to make sense of their documentation.

http://www.zabbix.com/rn1.8.8.php

Further down it comes to Installation and Upgrade Notes.

1) Take it im not doing an upgrade due to not running a Zabbix version prior to 1.6.x correct?

2) So i need to do a complete installation again? Is there no easier way of doing upgrades instead of running through everything from scratch?

any help greatly appreciated.
thanks,
mark

Hi Mark,
I think this document would be useful,
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...on_and_upgrade

Follow the steps in 3.6 Upgrade procedure (I think you can skip 3.6.6 Upgrade database)

I've successfully upgraded from 1.8.6 to 1.8.7 following this document.

BR,
