The server is running Apache, Subversion, and Atlassian Confluence. Can this be upgraded safely, and if so, what is the command line? I'd like to stay on a more recent version of the platform but make as few problems for myself as possible.

If you waited for 10.04 (which is another LTS release), you could upgrade directly.
