How to upgrade Videocache?

Upgrading Videocache from one version to another is pretty easy. Just follow the easy steps below.

1. Backup configuration file

Take a backup copy of your current videocache configuration file normally located at /etc/videocache.conf . You don't need to backup cache directories as videocache doesn't recreate cache directories if they exist already.

[root@localhost ~]# cp /etc/videocache.conf /etc/videocache.conf.back

2. Download and Install the new version

Now download the latest version of videocache from the download page and follow the instruction on installation page to install the videocache you just downloaded.

3. Configure videocache

Now open the backed up configuration file and the new configuration file created by videocache. Compare the options in the two files and set the options in new configuration file accordingly.

4. Restart Squid, Apache

After you are done with configurations, restart Apache webserver and Squid proxy server.

Thats all for upgrading videocache from one version to another.
