upgrade nagios 1.4.1 to nagios 3.2.3

[Sunny Jaisinghani]

Hello,

Can some help me with this doubt.

If upgrading using an rpm is not advisable; could you please suggest a procedure to upgrade using the source package.
I want to plan a clean risk free upgrade plan.

After i backup the old configs and remove the Nagios 1.4 rpms; how do i proceed to compile the new Nagios package.
Do i have to upgrade the plugins also.??

These are the rpms currently installed

	nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rhel3.dag
	nagios-plugins-nrpe-2.0-3.rhel3.dag
	nagios-nrpe-2.0-3.rhel3.dag
	nagios-nsca-2.4-2.rhel3.dag
	nagios-1.4.1-1.el3.rf

Upgrading from Nagios 1 to Nagios 3 will likely break your config. I
wouldn't take a chance on the rpm package to do all of the needed
changes to make it compatible with nagios 3.2. So doing a backup
before upgrading is a wise idea. If your rpm doesn't update your
config, please have a look at the following two links:
