You are advised to only upgrade clean machines, e.g. without contribs or other modifications. If any contribs is installed you must remove them; you may re-install contribs after upgrade. All contribs settings are saved in /etc/e-smith/templates or /etc/e-smith/templates-custom so when you re-install any contrib settings will be retrieved.
Please report any issues to our bug tracker under the SME Server 8 section only if you have installed all current updates.
