From the ongoing discussion about upgrades, any locally created
applications may have to be rebuilt anyways due to changes in libraries
and the base system.
I have come across different configuration files between versions and
when I moved from FC6 to F8 at work, I ended up with some weird problems
that were associated to changes in F8 that required the IT staff to
change my account around. The changes were good but just caused headaches.
I have seen some update directly from F6 to F8 but their system was
quite basic. No LVM's or partitions to worry about. All partitions
were labeled.
If you use third source repositories, you could end up with more
headaches doing an upgrade.
Backup your data and configuration files and then try. The worst is you
have to do a clean install after trying.

You can certainly upgrade from F7 to F8 using the DVD (I've done it).
However it's a toss-up whether going F6->F7->F8 is going to be
troublefree. See the warnings and implicit "we don't guarantee this will
work" parts of the Fedora Release Notes. You're probably safer backing
up your config data and reinstalling.

Thanks, that's why I posted here first. :-) I'll check that
out as it would be a real pain to have to reinstall. I have
a lot of custom things such as my MTA setup. I'm also using
djb's dns software and I'd hate to have to rebuild everything
at this moment though I may move to dnsmasq in the future.

Re: Re: FC7 and Apache won't start
by Mike - W0TMW
I've run netstat and lsof. While they show a number of processes using
the IP, none are using port 80. I've also checked to see that I have
only one "Listen" statement in httpd.conf and at this time, no VirtualHosts.
I've since defaulted to the base httpd.conf as provided in the .rpm and
still get the same error.
Here is the screen showing "lsof" first and then netstat. The python
entry is yum-updated.

dnsmasq got set up behind my back on F8; I've been using dhcpd and bind
for donkey's years, and plan on continuing to do so.
It gets used by the virtualisation infrastructure, and while it keeps
out of my way I plan on keeping out of its.
Investigation shows it's only listening on virbr0; it should be keeping
out of the way of BIND (but if bind defaults to listening to all
addresses, and I think it does, then it could get in the way of dnsmasq).

Are you by any chance trying to run dnsmasq as well as named on the same
system? I've not looked into running dnsmasq...but I believe if you try
running both you'll have conflicts.
