Question pretty much sums it up. I was running Ubuntu 11.10 and had Apache serving a few virtual hosts. I popped in the Ubuntu 12.04 CD (Beta 2) and rebooted. I choose to 'Upgrade Ubuntu 11.10'.



The result is that my home folder is still intact and most settings seem to be there, but I couldn't access any of my sites. I eventually realised that apache no longer exists on the system!



Anyway, if I had done this at work (and I could have), I would have made quite a mess for myself. I understand that it's not Ubuntus job to educate me and that as a techy I need to know these things. But I really thought it would be the same as upgrading from the Update Manager.



Can anyone explain?



Many Thanks,
Ten

The livecd can not upgrade, only replace the existing install with a new one, so if you did that, you would no longer have any packages installed that aren't part of the base install.
