Hello folks!

Nice to have Sentora running on my new vps Everything works great!

I have Ubuntu 12.04 now, can i upgrade Ubuntu to latest version without any problem?
Thanks!

Greetings MickeMM,
Probably you can update to 14.10 without problems (my first Sentora install was on 14.10, but was only active a few hours).
However please consider the LTS version (14.04) as it has longer period of support without drastic changes that might break your server setup (read more at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS).

Thanks for the answer. If i login to my vps it want me to upgrade to 14.04.2 LTS
So if i do the upgrade i wont have any problem after?

do-release-upgrade ?

I did the upgrade on my other VPS with Zpanel and that ***** up my Zpanel ...

Oh, 14.02.2 LTS won't give you any problems, I'm using 14.04.2 myself.
Go ahead ant upgrade! (I thought you wanted to move to 14.10...)

Yes it is do-release-upgrade as root (read more at: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/...ading.html)

Leave us your feedback after you do it

Make a backup first! I'm not sure that it won't break during an upgrade of OS. Sentora is made to install on 14.04, but it makes it's configs on the fly during install depending on OS requirements. I tried a 12.04->14.04 upgrade with Sentora installed and it was not fun. I had to answer a LOT of questions during the upgrade and Sentora did not work after doing so. (Although I may have missed some of the questions.)
Some of the questions had to do with keeping original configs or replacing with newer.

After all that mess, I would suggest back everything up, install fresh 14.04, then re-install Sentora and then add the sites/databases from your backup.

Upgrading from 14.04 to 14.04.2 should NOT have the same issues as from 12.x to 14.x
I'm sorry I did not recommend the backups, that is something you should always do, even if not updating.
Regarding your apache error, should be easy.

Just create the httpd.conf file:
touch /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

*Please make backups, and I'm sorry for not warning about it... now I feel bad...*

the OP noted in first post he was using 12.04... so that was what I answered too

No hard fellings
I reinstall my vps now and install everything from beginning with newest ubuntu..
I did a backup on my website, but i forgot to do it in sentora..

Now i know, yes i know... ALWAYS DO A BACKUP!

Btw, is it possible to make a backup with cron every night and then automatic upload it to dropbox?
I have a dropbox account i´dont use so much and i have 50 GB free space..

Oh...
I misread the version on the first post and thought until now it was 14.04...
I should pay more attention.
I'm really sorry.
Good everything went ok.
Thank you for understanding.
