Well, I did it! Wheezy to Jessie on one of my VPS today. It is one with
just a couple of websites that are really just testbeds and a mailserver.
(Postfix/Dovecot) Having backed up all the mail server config. and the
sites and mysql, I decided to just give it a go. A rough outline:-
Backups
Update all wheezy packages and autoremove, autoclean etc
Change sources.list then upgrade
OpenVPN and clamav-daemon had problems so I purged them and reinstalled
Otherwise it was plain sailing.
Finally Xen shell shutdown and boot
The apache config files needed some rewriting. A lot of the directives are
moved from virtual host files to the main apache2.conf and you have to make
sure that virtualhost config files are named .conf - all summarised here:

One other point, if you are signing in as root and using password instead
of key, the Jessie upgrade changes the default SSH config to
rootpasswordlogin no

I upgraded my computers here at home on Sunday. Met a
couple of minor
hitches which won't be relevant to the VPS. Am reading about the Apache
thing now ready to do the big upgrade this week - hopefully.

I went ahead and updated from wheezy to jessie.
The update required an
additional 600MB, and I had to make some changes to my apache2 config. With
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html next to me, it was not
too much trouble. There's some changes in PHP as well which I'll have to
look into before upgrading another VPS.

As ever, I'd quite like someone else to do
the Wheezy to Jessie
upgrade first :)
People have been upgrading to jessie ever since shortly after wheezy
was released, since then Debian testing was what would become
jessie. But as usual, the problem is knowing if your exact
combination of packages has a hassle-free upgrade.
Are you asking if there's anyone who used apache 2.2 on wheezy with
authentication who has since upgraded to jessie with apache 2.4?
Cheers,
Andy
