[solved] Existing Lenny with Syscp

[Jeff]

Ok, I have what appears to the be the latest and last version of Syscp on a Lenny Lamp server. What is the proprer way to get rid of Syscp and install Froxlor? Dumb it down, I am a Windows admin.

 

Thanks

Thanks, do I need to do anything with syscp?

just follow the guide...nothing more is needed

Thanks for the help. Have it installed and running. Is it / was it supposed to import the syscp database? If so it didn't do it. Help?

not "import" but "use" the old syscp-database. and if it doesn't use it, you didn't follow and/or understand the guide

Didn't say anything in the update/upgrade guide about retaining the syscp db. So I can follow the update/upgrade path and not allow the creation of the froxlor DB and update/upgrade the syscp DB, correct?

 

Thanks again for your help.

What do you think "saving the userdata.inc.php" is? this is the file where your database-connection-information is stored and therfore,

if you copy this file from syscp to froxlor, it will automatically use the syscp-database and its data and upgrade to froxlor.

 

You just have to change the source-folder, which is propably /var/www/syscp/ in your case instead of /var/www/froxlor
