We are having some setup issues for the production graphs 2.0 server. Staging is RHEL 5.5 while production is RHEL 6, so it's hard for me to test. After discussing with Dumitru in irc, we agree that it'd make the most sense moving forward to just upgrade staging and get things working there.

There is no supported upgrade path from rhel5.x to 6.x. That means we'll either have to take it down, wipe it, rebuild it and set it up from scratch. What all needs to get backed up, and when can we take this host down for a few hours? There are likely some other things that will happen, like hostname change, puppet managament, etc. that go along with this stuff, so overall, this is a good thing, just not a quick pushbutton thing.

People are using it, but it is staging and I think people will survive. Feel free to do it whenever, just let me know and I'll post a note about it.

Regarding backup, all the data is on a shared MySQL host. The source and install docs should all work, so I don't think it's necessary to really back anything up.
Will take it down tomorrow at 11 AM PST for the upgrade.
