From ZPanel upto Sentora

[kandrews]

I've finished my first round of testing on CentOS 6 ZPanel 10.1.0 up to Sentora 1.0.3 and all seems well.

So anyone who is experianced with ZPanel/Sentora and would like to TEST the upgrader on a development system (NOT A LIVE SYSTEM) please have a go.

The upgrade works by:

• moving ZPanel directories into the correct place, removing all core and core modules (excluding cnf settings).
  
• extracting the mysql password from the existing zpanel cnf file
  
• performing a fresh install of sentora with the cnf file removed
  
• upgrading the zpanel databases to sentora databases
  
• installing new /etc/sentora/configs as coping with modifications would be a nightmare
  

This updater would have been much easier if we had made smaller changes in regular releases, however the changes made from ZPanel 10.1.0 to Sentora to date have been many.

If anyone finds any issues with the upgrade please add an issue on github with the Label ZPanel Upgrade:

Once we've had some feedback from beta testers of the upgrade we can look at adding these instructions to the sentora docs and putting out an official announcement.
