I run a FreeBSD Box 5.4 release. I use the server for webapps with php and mysql enabled, also samba an ssh is running. Everything works fine and stable. Now i update the ports on my machine via CVSup and check the installed packages for newer versions. Now my question: Do i run in trouble if i update my installed packages like apache, php or mysql ? or does it work without problems. Is it necessary to backup my config files and databases ? Or what is the best way to get my apps up to date ? Thx for your help Markus _________________________________________________________________ Die neue MSN Suche Toolbar mit Windows-Desktopsuche.
