[squid-users] How to upgrade correctly?

[ngtech1ltd at gmail.com]

Hey Gabriel,
 
The first thing before doing anything at all is to backup your binaries and configuration files.
Then try to plan a way that will allow you to fall back to the older version if anything will turn bad.
If you can test on a VM the installation process before production it would be the best way to make sure everything will go smooth
and as expected.
 
I believe that you will be able to just override the current squid installation if it will build fine.
Just make sure that the squid instance/service is not running while you are installing the new version.
 
If you have more specific questions feel free to ask.

Hello everyone.
I have currently installed SQUID 5.8 compiled from source on Debian 10.5.
I want to upgrade to the latest stable version, 6.2.
What is the recommended way to upgrade to a new version? Should I uninstall the old version first? Or do I compile the new one and it overwrites the old one?

Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

My configuration:
./configure --includedir=/include \
--mandir=/share/man \
--infodir=/share/info \
--localstatedir=/opt/squid/var \
--disable-maintainer-mode \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
--disable-silent-rules \
--enable-inline \
--enable-async-io \
--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,diskd \
--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap \
--enable-delay-pools \
--enable-cache-digests \
--enable-underscores \
--enable-icap-client \
--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for \
--enable-arp-acl \
--enable-esi--disable-translation \
--with-logdir=/var/log/squid \
--with-pidfile=/var/run/squid.pid \
--with-filedescriptors=65536 \
--with-large-files \
--with-default-user=proxy \
--enable-linux-netfilter \
--enable-ltdl-convenience \
--with-openssl \
--enable-ssl \
--enable-ssl-crtd \
--enable-snmp \
--disable-arch-native


make
