Hi guys !!

 

I've found the problem for updating the SNF 7.2 !!!!! Very Happy

 

You have to download 6 rpm files from the ftp server.

They are:

 

snf7.2/RPMS/naat-backend-0.5-6mdk.i586.rpm

snf7.2/RPMS/perl-5.600-18mdk.i586.rpm

snf7.2/RPMS/perl-base-5.600-18mdk.i586.rpm

snf7.2/RPMS/perl-devel-5.600-18mdk.i586.rpm

snf7.2/SRPMS/naat-backend-0.5-6mdk.src.rpm

snf7.2/SRPMS/perl-5.600-18mdk.src.rpm

 

After you have donwloaded them I would burn them on CD.

Then go to you SNF Box and login as ROOT.

then type: service httpd-naat stop

after doing this the service will STOP and we can start the update thing.

 

go to your /mnt directory and type: mount cdrom

After doing this your CD-ROM drive has been mounted ( you can acces it )

Now from within the /mnt directory type: cd cdrom

You opend the cdrom.

 

Type: ls

Means list, to show you all the files on the CD.

If you see a list with this 6 RPM's type: rpm -Fvh *.rpm

This will update the packages wich will make the update option over the https:// connection to work properly !!

 

Don't forget to restart the httpd-naat.

To do this type: service httpd-naat start

 

I would recommend to restart you BOX after doing the updates !!!!

 

GOOD LUCK !! Wink

 

MFG
