Media server upgrade install

Question

When I try to upgrade to the latest version of FMS there is a
warning that the current version will be uninstalled in order to
complete the upgrade installation.

So, I have not proceeded with the install, till I checked
that uninstalling will NOT erase configuration, log and custom
applications and application data created in the current version.

Just looking for a little reassurance before proceeding.

Thanks

Actually I think I read somewhere that it WILL. You'll need to backup all those directories first before issuing the install. Always assume that if something's going to be deleted, all the stuff you've worked on will too :)

For example on a linux box, to back up your applications you'd copy the contents of /opt/macromedia/fms/applications/ (assuming you went with a default install). Same basic idea for your logfiles and configuration changes.

Hope it helps!
