install minor version

[jriker1]

How do you install an update from 4.1.1 to 4.2.0? Honestly I've been using Nagios forever but have basically gone a long time without any upgrades and then when I moved to a new version it was a new job or new location so never had to "upgrade" an existing implementation. Do you just do the

make all
make install
make install-init
make install-config
make install-commandmode
make install-webconf
cp -R contrib/eventhandlers/ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

plus the plugins and call it a day?

Thanks.

EDIT: Guess not, lost all my settings or they were moved more accurately. Reverting the virtual.

Think this link still looks valid:

That is correct -- Here are the steps for upgrading Core:

Thanks I'll review those links. Did notice in following the instructions I sent that the nagios app website defaulted back to the default homepage and not to services like I configured it to do so a while ago.

Definitely let us know if you run into any other problems, we'll leave this thread open....

Here is what I ended up following:

Seemed to work without issue other than the home page defaulted back to home instead of services so have to manually fix that.

Thanks.
