[CLOSED UNSOLVED] Upgrading from 3.4 to 6.0
« on: June 13, 2019, 04:45:41 pm »
Hi,
I have an old installation of zentyal 3.4. I'm analysing https://wiki.zentyal.org/wiki/Updating_your_Zentyal_Server how to manage it and at the same time I'm testing the latest release 6.0. I would like to know if it is advised and possible to perform several upgrade from 3.4 up to 6.0. Moreover, can I just install the latest release 6.0 and import the backup from 3.4 (I do not think so)?
Thank you

Hi!
It seems to me that your Zentyal version is too old. I fear your best option is to make a fresh install, but you could try this: https://wiki.zentyal.org/wiki/Migration_from_3.0_to_3.5/4.0_version,_Single_Domain_Controller

From Zentyal 4 the upgrade process is realized throught a script that configures the new repos, fix some bugs, and run the apt-get upgrade (This script is runned from the button which describes the wiki that you have found). From 4 to 5 version and from 5 to 6 the process seems to me  secure.

However, many things could be failed on a so complex process although you were able to upgrade to Zentyal 4
Is it a huge system?

Best regards.

Actually, the system is quite small. The problem is that I do not know how to use zentyal very well compared to ubuntu server. I already found some different behaviour with configuration files (mySQL, apache, etc.). I will try to make a new install and to import the most of the setting.
Is there something that you can suggest to me?
Thank you

If you describe your system I could help you in this process.

How many users, groups, machines...?

There's only an AD controller or there are some other additional controllers?

...

I tried to upgrade from zentyal 3.4 to 3.5, but the process stopped with errors.

My configuration is quite simple. I have only some Web server installed on it with openVPN and ftp services.

If you have done an "apt dist-upgrade" or edited manually the sources.list file your packages system is surely broken.

Code: [Select]
dpkg -l |egrep -v '^(ii|rc)'
This way you'll see your broken packages.

You could try to back to the old sources.list, do an "apt-get update", remove the new packages and install it again in his old versions.

Afterwards run this command until the packages will be installed:
Code: [Select]
sudo dpkg –configure -a
Afterwards if you are able to restore your old system, run this command:

Code: [Select]
sudo sh /usr/share/zentyal/upgrade-to-4.0
Tell me about your advances.

:)

Actually, I used the upgrade button from admin GUI after that I updated the system to the latest package version.

Code: [Select]
dpkg -l |egrep -v '^(ii|rc)'

I will take a look on it and let you know.

The button you have used runs the script that I have described you.  :-\

Do you have waited the whole process finished?

Tell me how can I help you if you need.

Yes, I did and it gave me error message "Impossible to upgrade". I will try to follow what you suggested in the previous post.

Hi!

I have found the upgrading script https://github.com/zentyal/zentyal/blob/3.2/main/core/src/scripts/release-upgrade but, I fear there's not possibility of use it on 3.3 or 3.4.

However if you can read it, I think that you could follow it as a screenplay.

PD: Do you have some backup config?

Best regards!

Hi,
Code: [Select]
dpkg -l |egrep -v '^(ii|rc)'I removed all the broken packages (zentyal-*.*). Then I reverted the file /etc/apt/sources.list to the following one:

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

The commands sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade do not allow to upgrade any package.
lNow if I try to reinstall a zentyal package e.g. zentyal-ca, I get:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install zentyal-core zentyal-ca
Reading list of packages... Done
Dependency tree generation       
Reading status information... Done
Some packages cannot be installed. This may mean
that an impossible situation has been requested or, if you are in the process of
using a distribution in development, that some required packages
have not yet been created or removed by Incoming.
The following information can help you resolve the situation:

The following packages have unsatisfied dependencies:
 zentyal-core : Depends: zentyal-common (< 3.5) version 3.5 is about to be installed
E: Unable to fix problems, there are damaged packages blocked.

Is it possible to restore the old version? Have I to change other files that /etc/apt/sources.list?
Thank you

Hi!

Remove the zentyal-common packages and install the correct version.

Check the package versions registered on your apt system:

Code: [Select]
apt-cache policy zentyal-common
#same for all the zentyal packages
[code]

If you have more of one versions you can proceed to install the one you want. Your goal is to buid a consistent set of packages.

[code]
sudo apt-get install <package name>=<version>

Could be you'll have to remove all the zentyal packages in order to re-install them in the desired versions. (I have done this a couple of times on Zentyal 5.1 and redis have being able to restore all configurations, but this is higly risky. Proceed package by package.)

I'll would did it in a virtual machine first.

Let me know your advances.

Best regards.

Hi,
I tried again and then I decided to give up. Now I'm reconfiguring from scratch a new server with zentyal 6.0.
Thank you
