I'm trying to upgrade to the latest iRedMail as noted above following this guide: http://www.iredmail.org/wiki/index.php? … ail.Server
Starting with a fresh Centos 6.0, I install iRedMail. I'm using mysql; I copied vmail over into the new server, exported vmail db from old server (tried both data only and full db) and copied to new server. Generated result.sql as instructed in the guide (to prevent dovecot deletion of emails).
If i overwrite the new vmail db with the old, the result.sql won't run as there are missing tables (bytes, etc) and the emails get deleted. If I try to import just the data into the vmail db, it won't import because there is a column count mismatch. (Note: this was done over 2 fresh iredmail installs; after the first didn't work I re-imaged the server and started over).
Is there a way to modify the 0.6 db so that I may import its data into the 0.7 db? I would rather not go through 8 upgrades to upgrade the 0.6 db through all the point releases to 0.7 before being able to impor the data into 0.7 db.
