You should be able to upgrade by running installer in a regular way
Same way as you installed 8.52.
Basically untar the tar file and run
"./install" in GUI (if you have DISPLAY set correctly - I usually
check with "xclock"), or console mode.
If you have problems /tmp/DominoInstall.log
should have pointers if problems occurred early in process, later (after
program directory was specified and install started) - DominoInstall.log
will be in your Domino binaries directory.
Since you are upgrading it should be
in /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/latest/linux/DominoInstall.log if you have default
location (or similar if you have your own location specified).
Let me know if you have other problems
that are not covered and we can troubleshoot it.
Thanks,
