Upgrade from version 1.1.8

[jens_munk]

I am currently running Mantis 1.1.8 with the MySQL that our ISP provides. Can I update this to the latest and greatest version without hassle, or am I in trouble? Any precautions?

Thanks,

Jens.

Nobody can now what will happen when upgrading, especially as nobody knows what versions of PHP, OS, data base, web server your ISP is running.

I don't expect issues if you are exactly following the steps described at
https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master-1. ... LL.UPGRADE
Especially the mentioned step: "Always Backup your code, data and config files before upgrading !"

I would setup a second fresh installation of MantisBT on the same server before upgrading.
Run admin/check.php after the installation.
If all is green (no errors or warnings) there should be at least no blocking issues after the upgrade.

Any obvious issues with this?

No obvious issues.
But your Debian 5.0 is far away from standard Debian 5.0 concerning versions of PHP, MySQL and Apache.

As I said before: I would setup a second fresh test installation of MantisBT on the same server before upgrading.

I will give that a shot.
