REQ: tutorial openvpn upgrade

Post by xsurfer » Sun May 29, 2011 4:39 am

I would like to request for a tutorial on how to update/upgrade openvpn 2.1 to higher version (2.2) in centos without disrupting normal operation if possible.

Thank you.

hi there,

if you have rpms for the new version then you only have to do
stop service
rpm -U the-new-pack
start service

which only takes few seconds...

upgrading the openvpn binary without restarting i am not sure that is possible...

on CentOS you can replace the binaries but they won't get used until you restart the service....
