Hi all,

I'm in the same situation. I recently take the administration of a clients systems and I would like to upgrade from a zimbra ZCA_6014.406 over ubuntu 8.04 64bits, to the latest version of zimbra.

Is there any guide or tips I can use? I don't know if it's better to create a new server with the latest versions and import all the accounts, or if the procedure would be to upgrade ubuntu, then upgrade zimbra, and so on.

Best regards.

Jorge.

If your running FOSS then my guess is that you will need to update to the last version of 7.x on your current server. Then you will need to do a server migration (still running 7.x) to centos 6/7 64bit. After that you can upgrade to 8.x.
