If you have had problems with the iptables getting lost before then this time do a

iptables-save > /root/iptables.bak

before you upgrade. That way if something does go wrong all it takes to fix it is

iptables-restore < /root/iptables.bak

That will restore all your rules and also all of your counters.

Actually, one of my servers did hit a snag and the upgrade died half way. In that case all that was required to fix it was a apt-get dist-upgrade

The only other thing I would recommend would be to make sure that you are fully up to date with a dist-upgrade before you do the release upgrade.

thanx climbatize, just wanted to know. I have had issues in the past upgrading and it fucking with my iptables, which broke my whole network!!

GB: thanx if i didnt already know that would have been very helpful

I've done multiple ubuntu upgrades on my servers using the command line utility do-release-upgrade

I've never run into any problems with php mysql phpmyadmin or any of the other software I run. It is always good practise to backup your mysql databases first just in case but I've not needed them yet.

Has anyone here upgraded from ubuntu 6.06 LAMP to 8.04??

if so did you have any issues, like data lose or database loss? did webmin, phpmyadmin and/or wordpress have any issues with it?
