Originally created by @abmiller99 on GitHub (Apr 3, 2017).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1091

I have a stable Modoboa install v 1.6.0 (on Debian 8/Jessie)

Question about upgrading: Is it proper to upgrade directly to 1.7.2 (from 1.6.0) or to incrementally upgrade? i.e. first upgrade to 1.6.1, then 1.7.0, etc... Could not find answer to this by searching.

I have attempted to upgrade both ways, unfortunately I keep having to restore to 1.6.0 because my upgraded Modoboa runs but with critical bugs (internal error)

Thanks

Hi,

It's probably safer to follow versions with specific migration steps listed here http://modoboa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade.html

I am usually jumping from the last installed version to the current version and make sure migrations are applied. An incremental log of such a procedure for a deployment environment can be found in https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa-installer/issues/39

settings.py is then also up to date, as it is being removed and recreated by the installer.

Well - I upgraded Modoboa core and extensions incrementally w/ virtualenv, using the specific upgrade instructions for each (if applicable), and always ran

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic

after each..

My install is up-to-date.

While the core functions do seem intact, I do however experience some buggy behaviour:

critical errors when replying with webmail (HTML editor only)
saving option settings on some pages produces a blank page with 'parameters saved' writen in plain text at the top
when viewing an email received in webmail inbox inline images are broken

I would love to know if there is any method to create a fresh Modoboa install and then apply a backup from a previous (broken) install.

Lots of off-topic stuff there.. sorry! As you can probably tell I'm not a Python or Linux genius.

@abmiller99 Actually, the webmail is a bit buggy and I'm working on it. A new version should be released soon. Anyway, I suggest you clear the cache of your browser and retry the other points.
