Josué,

I used 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8. Every time I changed I followed these steps:

* stop squid
* Move all videocache directories to videocache-1.X
* Move /etc/videocache.conf to /etc/videocache.conf-1.X

* Install new videocache version. You will have new videocache directories.

* Compare /etc/videocache.conf to /etc/videocache.conf-1.X
and decide what to do ...

* Move /var/spool/videocache-1.X files to /var/spool/videocache For migrating to 1.8 you need to move the files without the .flv extension.

Something like will help you:

#!/bin/sh
find /var/spool/videocache-1.X/youtube -name "*" -type f | while read old_video; do
	echo $old_video
	new_video=`echo $old_video | sed -e 's/\/videocache-1.X\//\/videocache\//g' -e 's/.flv//g'`
	echo $new_video
	mv $old_video $new_video
done

Regards,

Josep Pujadas
