Hi all,

I have some small confusion regarding upgrading to 1.6.3, specifically with the RoundCube part. The iRedMail instructions just say (for the actual code update) follow the RoundCube instructions. Those instructions basically download, ungzip, then run a script to copy the new files over the old versions (you specify the folder where the existing install is).

My question is this: the original iRedMail install set up RoundCube in /opt/www/roundcubemail-1.5.3, with a symlink to it at /opt/www/roundcubemail.

If I follow the instructions, RoundCube 1.6.2 will be then be in the (now misnamed) 1.5.3 directory, but the symlink will still point to it. Or should I rename the 1.5.3 directory to 1.6.2 and fix the symlink (perhaps Linux does this automatically?)? I note that for iRedAPD and iRedAdmin, this isn't an issue (perhaps because it's all one team).

I could even copy the 1.5.3 folder, rename that to 1.6.2, upgrade it, and then use the symlink to switch versions back and forth.

Basically, can someone clarify how this directory name / symlink is supposed to be configured after the upgrade, and which parts aren't done automatically by the script?

Re: Confusion Upgrading RoundCube

Thanks for this. I tried it, it works fine. I guess I was overthinking it.

However, I do now -- as I described in my first option above -- have RoundCube 1.6.2 installed in a folder called /opt/www/-1.5.3

This would have bothered me in earlier days, but now I'm trying to "not sweat the small stuff". Life is too short!
