Hi Ian,<br>
<br>
If you're running something that old, my advice would be to start
from scratch and launch a replacement service.<br>
<br>
The DB structure has had a lot added to it since 4.x, moving that
across to 6.13 is not going to be trivial. ZendTo itself will
attempt to add the missing fields for you automatically (if you're
using SQLite, which you might not be!), but I don't think I would
rely on the end result for production use.<br>
<br>
Come up with a new name for the service (you know you don't have to
call it ZendTo at all), and launch a new one.<br>
Just keep the old one up until the drop-offs expire, so that
previously issued links to files still work.<br>
<br>
Sorry if that's not the news you wanted to hear, but it will save
you lots of time and trouble in the long run.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

Does anyone have an Idiot's Guide (in very simple terms for a linux novice), fleshing out the bones of the simple statement on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://zend.to/upgrade">https://zend.to/upgrade</a> "you can then copy across your existing database and drop-offs"
Current version is 4.something I think, on an old ubuntu version.
I know, I know....

Subject: [ZendTo] ANNOUNCE: New production release 6.13
WARNING: This message originated from outside the University. Use caution when following links or opening attachments.
Hi all,
After a very long wait, I have just released a new production release of ZendTo, 6.13-1.
The improvements over the previous version are relatively minor, but importantly include updates to all the libraries and dependencies, which fixes a few security vulnerabilities in them.
The ZendTo Installer should now also handle Ubuntu 22, RedHat 9 and Rocky 9 correctly.
And the "upgrade" command now also checks for more configuration settings in Apache than it did, to help ensure you're running a more secure server. It's quite talkative, so you'll see it do it.
As ever, more details in the Change Log at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://zend.to/changelog">https://zend.to/changelog</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://zend.to/changelog"><https://zend.to/changelog></a> .

Please report any problems / issues / questions / suggestions as soon as possible.
Thanks all for your patience!
Jules
