  3. Upgrade using the appropriate procedure below. 

  • During MongoDB upgrade, when you are prompted to replace the MongoDB configuration file, select 'N' (No) to keep your existing settings.

  • When you are prompted to restart services during the upgrade, always restart the default one, which is marked with an asterisk (*).

  • In Ubuntu, when you are prompted with "File '/usr/share/keyrings/filecloud.gpg' exists. Overwrite? (y/N)", type y and click Enter to overwrite the existing keyring file.

  • When you are prompted with a modified configuration file during PHP upgrade, choose "keep the local version currently installed" to retain your existing custom settings.
