actually, you had the answers you need and you had some good advices too
If you ask me "is it the right direction to the place I want to reach?" I can answer you "yes, of course" or "you'd better turn to the right", but I'd add "pay attention not to go too fast, the road is full of holes"
the second part is not an answer to your question, but a good advice, isn't it?

that's a pity, indeed..
may I suggest everybody to reset and start again? :-)

No, I tried to offer some friendly advice.
"Please take it in the spirit it was offered."

As above. It was friendly advice, not lecturing. We have been trying to warn people about v8 going EOL for their own security as many are not aware of, and do not understand, the consequences. You have not been singled out for being attacked, so don't take things personally.

Yup, normal story. Lots of take and precious little give. And probably with a philosophy like yours you won't be getting much help if all you are going to do is pour scorn on what were well meant comments.
I'm sure you enjoy the fruits of those who labour long and hard in their spare time to build your Koozali SME server for nothing, and you to use for nothing. You probably even enjoy some of the code that I wrote. So please, bear that in mind before you comment. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
By ignoring the advice to upgrade you are undoubtedly making a rod for your own back. As we tried to point out, v8 has been in production a long long time, and as of today is no longer supported. You can make your own choices as to whether you remain on it, but just bear in mind that you will not get any assistance with it from now on. Regardless of whether v9 will run on your hardware, which is not our fault, it is still sound advice.

You can do whatever you want with your current or future issues. They are yours after all, so please do not blame us for your issues.

So you come back to the thread, a month later, to rant at the people who were and are trying to help you (and also, BTW, solved your immediate question)? Really?
It is unreasonable to expect, on any Internet forum, that responses to your questions will be strictly limited to the questions as presented. I'm active on a number of forums, covering quite a variety of topics, and there isn't one where your expectation is anything close to the reality. Responses to questions will address related issues--deal with it. You don't own the threads you create, and you don't get to dictate what subjects are and are not acceptable to discuss there.
As to this particular issue, we're making the recommendation solely for your benefit--it isn't like any of us sees a financial benefit from your upgrading. Security vulnerabilities against the CentOS 5 packages will be discovered. They will not be fixed. The security of your system will therefore be compromised. These are not mere remote possibilities; they are certainties. The only uncertainties are time and severity.
But by all means, it's your server. Do with it what seems best to you, even if it's contrary to the recommendations of those who build and maintain the software it runs. But don't expect that anyone will be able to offer much help if you continue on your present course.
