What happened to the ISPConfig Update Button? It’s replaced with some manual help text now.
It was my favourite part of ISPconfig3.

You probably wanted to say that
mysqldump -u root -p dbispconfig > dbispconfig.sql
in the text above ist with a html > (>)
while it should show the corresponding > (greater than) sign to symbolize that the output should be postet to the file dbispconfig.sql…

I’m running 3.0.1.4 on a production server with many clients and Domains.
I would like to try out the new features like Invoice and such but am not in the mood for any f-ups and down time that might happen with an update. I know I need to backup first but I was just wondering what the error quota is on updating to 3.0.4? Can I do this this quickly and smoothly w/o probs or should I just never change a running system?
Any pitfalls to look out for?

would that restore the files to their desired directories, or would i have to specify that manually?

The backup contains only the ispconfig files, database and the files from /etc/. Backups that you create with tar pcfz can be unpacked with tar xfz filename.tar.gz

I backed up the server as per the instructions given in the main article. I now have the following files in my /home/backup folder:-

-rw-r–r– 1 root root 203424 Oct 9 12:35 dbispconfig.sql
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 1163693 Oct 9 12:35 etc.tar.gz
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 2760087 Oct 9 12:35 ispconfig_software.tar.gz
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 77090 Oct 9 12:36 vmail.tar.gz

I have lately messed up with file and folder permissions and ownership on the server’s root with recursive option. Would a restore of these files get the server functional again?

How do i go about restoring these files? and where do I restore them.

Thanks.
