2 Installations - 1 data set.
hi,

I'm currently running version 2.0.2 and will be doing an upgrade shortly.

What I'd like to do is install the new version, and run it alongside my current one for a while to test it and work through any bugs.

Can anyone tell me if there would be any problems doing this? And also if it's possible to have the 2 installations working off the same data set?

thanks,
regan.

Hi Regan,

Off the top of my head I would say that it's not possible or at least not very easy to accomplish. There were some changes to a couple of tables along the way that will prevent this from working. I tried to copy data (sql) over from an existing 2.0.4 install to a 2.0.6 install on a new server and it failed. Maybe Adrian can shed some light on this though.

Regards,
Charlie

Hi,

You couldn't share the data directory, or the SQL tables. You'd need to do a new install and just not run incoming.pl, or set it up to work off a different pop account (i.e. instead of working of a catchall, work off test@domain.com pop account, that way you can test incoming/outgoing for a single account).

Cheers,

Alex
