The upgrade of
Vexira Antivirus for Mail Server can be done by following these few steps.
1. Download the latest version from
http://upd.vexira.com/pub12/vexira/vams/vams-2.5.0-9-linux-i386.tgz
2. Extract it: pl.: tar -xvzf vams-2.5.0-9-linux-i386.tgz
3. Uninstall the previous version by executing this command (the config files will be kept):
#vams-uninstall.pl
4. In the install directory (where the new version was extracted), execute the following:
#./vams-install.pl
5. Answer all questions during the install, untill it the asks for the following:
Found an existing config file (/etc/vams/vams.conf).
(K)eep the existing file or (C)reate a new one?
6. Press
[k]
By choosing Keep, all configuration will be kept. VAMS 2.5 uses a slightly different configuration architecture, but the installer will transform your configuration to this new format. It requires no further action from the user.
The install script will also create a backup of your original configuration file, so no manual backup is necessary.
7. The installation was successful, if VAMS starts correctly. The user can verify the upgrade by checking the status and version of the running VAMS by executing the following commands:
#> vams status
#> vams version
