[ZendTo] Server Migration/Upgrade

Hello,

We are looking to migrate to a newer server. That server has a default ZendTo installed via the installer.

It looks like I need to copy/merge various files to get to our version.

  *   /opt/zendto/config/ - for zendto.conf / preferences.php
  *   /opt/zendto/templates/ - for any template file changes we made
  *   /var/zendto/drop-offs - for the drop-offs
  *   /var/zendto/rrd - for RRD files
  *   /var/zendto/zendto.log* - for history of logins and other events.

We use MySQL and it seems the database layout has changed between versions. Is there a way to trigger an DB upgrade?

I don't believe that /opt/zendto/bin/upgrade will.

Any experience of this or gotchas would be welcome.

Cheers
Mark
