20.7 Legacy Series / Re: Unable to Upgrade from 20.1.9-i386
« on: February 28, 2021, 08:12:59 pm »
The upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit went basically without a hitch. All settings were carried across, including various rules for services being hosted.
My approach was to burn amd64 image to a USB drive, put that into the 64-bit machine, boot from USB. I tried the option of restoring from an existing config, but I was unable to access a config from either a USB drive (with /config/config.xml) or from the drive with the original 32-bit install. So in the end I simply let the installer proceed, then from the GUI menu chose the restore config option, and selected the drive containing the 32-bit install. From that point everything was smooth sailing.
Thanks for the redirect to the correct solution!
