I asked about upgrading once and got no reply. Does anyone have experience of having a hosted centos upgraded on a virtual server. Would you usually have to pay for a transition instance ? -----Original Message----- From: "Eero Volotinen" <eero.volotinen at iki.fi> Sent: ?21/?03/?2016 18:11 To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos at centos.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] IPSec multiple VPN setups Memset.com ?

err. upgrades? You mean reinstall? As upgrading between major releases are not supported in any way on centos / rhel and clones.. -- Eero 2016-03-21 20:33 GMT+02:00 <m.roth at 5-cent.us>:> Glenn Pierce wrote: > > I asked about upgrading once and got no reply.

Naturally I don't have FTP preferring to use SSH, SCP, non-standard ports and restricted to specific incoming individual IPs. All run C 6.7 except one on C 5.11, which I am about to upgrade (its difficult because so much is on that machine and I don't want any downtime). Dump your out-of-date C5. C6 is not very different. Everything I run on C5 also runs smoothly on C6. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. England's place is in the European Union.
