The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Gordon Chung <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I’ve been working on migrating Sympa from a Sunfire x4150 server running 
Solaris 10 (apache, msyql and sympa-6.1.17)to a VMware virtual RHEL 6 x64 
machine. I’ve installed apache, mysql and sympa-6.1.20 on the virtual machine 
and copied over apache, mysql and sympa config files, making edits as 
appropriate. I was going to rsync the list_data and archive directories, then 
install the sympa database from a mysqldump. 

I was wondering from the mysql side of things if this would work as I think 
the sympa-6.1.20 mysql database is slightly different compared with the 
sympa-6.1.17 one.

Would it be better to upgrade Sympa on the Solaris machine first before 
migrating it to the virtual machine?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Gordon
