	How did you install it orignally.
	If you used a packaging mechanism I would uninstall.

	If you built from source you can just install over the
	previous version.

	As with any configuration change you should have a good
	recovery strategy.  Even the best planned changes can
	fail.

	Again it depends on how the initial installation was done.
