Good morning, Personally I don't never upgrade a running Cyrus IMAP. I set up an upgraded slave and sync to it. When it's ready I set it as master and then create another slave with the same version as the master, replicating from it.
I recommend this way always instead of in place upgrades. Cyrus replication is gold. Is nice. I advise to rely on it when you need HA or just un upgrade. Read release notes, read replication compatibility... but ... that's the way of having always success...

Else I would not have run into any trouble. On the other hand, the upgrade to 3.6 is so tricky that only a full- time-admin can invest this much time especially considering this in a Debian way of Upgrading: Are you sure, that the Debian install-script is shutting down cyrus carefully and not starting it in post-install? Some years ago, the upgrade was failing, because I shot down cyrus manually and the pre-install-script was expecting a running cyrus to be able to shutsdown. So beside of the cyrus documentation you have to consider the maintainers thoughts on this topic. In the end, if you want to use cyrus on Debian I'd recommend to remove the Debian packages and install vanilla from tarball. Then you have to follow the 3.6-upgrade docs "only". And you know, you are on your own. Then it's also an easy thing follow the guide: 1. Upgrade 3.2.6-2+deb11u2 to 3.2.10 (where there is no package in the repository) 2. Upgrade 3.2.10 to 3.6.latest (as Дилян suggested) --Chris Cyrus / Devel / seediscussions +participants +delivery optionsPermalink ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: Devel Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/devel/Tc0e863bae9053445-M9c71446c3301382ad735f30b Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/devel/subscription
