nagios upgrade / migration from 1.2 to 2.0b1

[darren kruse]

Hi,
I am a very happy user of nagios 1.2 and am interested in upgrading / 
migration to the new 2.0b1 version.

My question is quite simialr to Michael´s (he didn get an on-list answer 
I can see)
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/26449

I cannot afford to have my production nagios 1.2 system down while I try 
to fix stuff. So I´ll ask this a few different ways ..

- Is an inplace migration safe , and if so, what is the reccomended 
process ?

- Will a generic 2.0 install simply overwrite existing nagios binaries, 
and will nagios 2.0 choke on my nagios 1.2 config files ?

- Is changing the default prefix to /usr/local/nagios2 in ./configure 
enough to make an install of nagios 2 parallel to the existing nagio 1.2 
install ?
It looks like this is what Rudi did :

For backward compatibility.. it would seem that the new nagiostats 
utility is not liking my existing nagios.cfg  ( I compiled nagios2 on a 
different machine, then moved the nagiostats binary to the production 
machine.

eg :
ferret# ./nagiostats /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

If I can´t safely upgrade to nagios 2 , then I´ll settle for now for 
being able to run nagiostats over my existing nagios 1.2 installation. 
Is this possible ?

thanks,
darren
