cpanel/whm upgrade on vps?

[Rayvan]

I have a reseller account that has upgraded to the new versions but not the vps.

Just wondering when the upgrade is in store for install...

VPS servers are not upgraded automatically. You can either do the upgrade yourself, though WHM (I'm not a WHM user, so I can't explain how to do it but others her can), or you can open a support ticket and ask that JPC take care of it for you.

Good luck.

As Jason rightly said, if you're not comfortable with this one, pop a support request in.

Otherwise, WHM >> First menu section "Server Configuration" >> "Update Config".

You can set it to run an automatic update for you, but do check that you set it for the right flavour - Edge/Current/Release/Stable. Release will keep you quite up to date, without exposing you to not-yet-found glitches.

i am currently using a Release edition of cPanel/WHM on my VPS and have not had any problems... one thing though, if the main reason you want to upgrade is for the ability to upgrade to apache 2 and easy::apache then hold off... apache 2/easy::apache is still considered not stable and tech support advised me to not upgrade due to possible issues down the road... i would suggest, like EuroNut said, to upgrade to a Release version but do not upgrade apache after upgrading cpanel

or use the STABLE branch, which is... well more stable and updates are delayed by several months until they have been tested in Edge/Current/Release users.

So basically if I do end up using the update feature...or have one of the techs slave away at the simple task, I want to go for the STABLE branch

stable is exactly what the name implies.. it is the most stable and safe... however... if you would like to be more up-to-date yet still stable i would go with release... its one of those things like fedora, centos, and RHEL... fedora is the most "cutting-edge" but then centos and RHEL is more "stable"

really the decision is yours
