Upgrade 1.1 to 1.4

Also congratulations to Alexei & co. for what seems to be great work.
Zabbix now leaves a more mature impression.

I upgraded the mysql db with the provided scripts from 1.1 to 1.4 and had some problems with it, first, all config and monitoring data was lost and second, when I logged in as admin all administrative tabs weren't displayed.

Next I dropped the whole db and created a new one - afterwards
everything was working fine.

Actually I have no idea what went wrong - I didn't invested too much time in working trough the update script.

Thanks virtulization I can step back and try it once a agian - and have a detailed look at the update scripts.

Kind regards,

Martin

Update

Hello,

I am also upgrading from 1.1.7 to 1.4 and I have found a lot of issues with just running the script as directed in the manual. I have been able to go through the various problems and make some fixes. I think the best bet is to drop the database (in my case it isn't a big deal) and recreate.

What everyone else's thoughts?

Has anyone also had issues with updating the php web frontend? Is it suppose to say 1.1.7 for a version?

All in all, I am very excited about the new version and I have really convinced a lot of folks around here about the usefulness of this system. Good Job!!

It should say 1.4 in the frontend, but I would imagine this comes dynamically from the binary, not the php files.
Check that you are running the right binary (zabbix_server -V). I had the 1.1 version installed by apt-get and the binaries were in /usr/sbin but the default install of 1.4 puts them in /usr/local/bin.

I had the same issue after upgrade from 1.1.6. In the database I've changed "type" of my admin accounts from 1 to 3 and it helped.

In manual I read this:

Database upgrade scripts are located in directory upgrade/dbpatches/1.4/<db engine>: MySQL: upgrade/dbpatches/1.4/mysql/patch.sqlOracle: upgrade/dbpatches/1.4/oracle/patch.sql PostgreSQL: upgrade/dbpatches/1.4/postgresql/patch.sql

but patch.sql for Oracle is empty (his size is 0 byte). How to me upgrading my base?

upgrade, frontend reads 1.1.7, not 1.4

Hello Everyone,

I did copy the binary to the /usr/bin and that is what is running. It still reports as being 1.1.7. Are the frontends wrong? I uncompressed and checked the dates. Is there something that has to be done to apache? Did it cache the web pages somehow? I have started and stopped the httpd several times.

Does it read it from the database, could that be my problem from the get-go? I think I am just going to re-create and go from there.

Take Care!

I really don't want to drop the db. That is starting over, not upgrading

A new installation means very much work
