net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
EOF'

Configure SSH daemon to only listen over IPv4 by running the following:

echo 'AddressFamily inet' | sudo tee -a /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Then Reboot #reboot

Backup the configuration and data first

Check current release

#sudo cat /etc/*release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="7"
VERSION="7 (wheezy)"
ID=debian
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"
HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.debian.org/support/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.debian.org/"

Configuration files in the /etc directory

#tar -pczf etc.tar.gz --absolute-names /etc

Backup of the /var/www website directory.

#tar -pczf www.tar.gz --absolute-names /var/www

Backup of the /home directories.

#tar -pczf home.tar.gz --absolute-names /home

For ISPConfig 3 users: Backup of your email server files.

#tar -pczf vmail.tar.gz --absolute-names /var/vmail

Backup MySQL databases

#mysqldump --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf -cCeQ --hex-blob --quote-names --routines --events --triggers --all-databases -r all_databases.sql

Then move the tar.gz and .sql files for safe storage on a backup drive.

Check the apt sources.list file

Before upgrade to Jessie, all available Wheezy must updates first. On some systems the package source is defined as “stable” in the sources.list file instead of “wheezy” or “jessie”. To avoid an accidental early upgrade to Jessie, please check the sources.list now and ensure that it contains “wheezy” and not “stable” as source:

#nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

#apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Update the sources.list for Jessie

Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file again:

#nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and replace its content with the following lines:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

reboot

To check which Debian version is currently installed on the system, take a look at the file /etc/os-release.

#cat /etc/os-release
#lsb_release -a

Extract all the tar.gz files to the folder (/var/www/html, /etc/)

#tar -xvf www.tar.gz

Move all folder and files

#mv /sourcefolder/{,.[^.]}* /destinationfolder/
