NetXMS update 2.2.10 to newest

[Mystery]

Hello,

I have very old version of NetXMS and I would like to update it to the newest version. Is it possible to install fresh server with latest version and migrate DB from 2.2.10 to 4.X?

If not, does anybody know how to fix this error when I try to update it via apt-get update on old version of debian?

/var/lib/dpkg/info/netxms-server:amd64.postinst: 89: /var/lib/dpkg/info/netxms-server:amd64.postinst: /usr/bin/nxdbmgr: Permission denied

Or when I try to compile it manually via

 sh ./configure --with-server --with-mysql --with-agent --enable-unicode --with-pcre=/opt/pcre/lib64

 
configure: error: libpcre32 is requred which I have installed before

Thank you very much

Hi

Yes, it's supported. You need to install new packages, then run "nxdbmgr upgrade". Don't forget to backup first.

Error is quite unexpected, but to be honest - we never tried such jump with packages. Which distro and version you are running?

You can upgrade this way:

mkdir ~/nx-backup
cp -R /etc/netxmsd.conf /etc/nxagentd.conf /var/lib/netxms ~/nx-backup
systemctl stop netxms-server
nxdbmgr check
apt-get --purge netxms\*
apt-get install netxms-server netxms-dbdrv-pgsql # select correct DB driver, additional packages if needed
systemctl stop netxms-server
cp ~/nx-backup/nxagentd.conf ~/nx-backup/netxmsd.conf /etc/
nxdbmgr upgrade
nxdbmgr check
systemctl enable --now netxms-server
