Who told you that?

Anyway, it is a three step process.
  • Turn off HTTPD
  • Disable Cron
  • Backup your database.
  • Get all the new files (including a few patches on the forum)
  • Install the files, remember the "include/config_*.php" files are obsolete
  • Edit the "install/0_8_6j_to_0_8_7.php" file and remove the inserting of the 1 minute RRA. It is well documented in that script.
  • Run the following sql code
    Code:
    update version set cacti='0.8.6j" where cacti='0.8.6k'
  • Re-enable HTTPD
  • Refresh your browser
  • Confirm the upgrade script worked well. If you get any errors, you may have to hand apply some database changes. Look at the upgrade script for more details
  • After all is well with the database, re-enable cron

So, since we don't want to have to tell this to all users, I guess that is why somebody, and I know who he is, probably told you it's not supported. My comment is thanks for helping us test ;)
