READ ONLY FORUM: m23 :: makes software distribution easy

hi,

first, after upgrade didn't seem to finish, I used SCREEN, and debconf asked me some questions. debconf answers should already be included, or be asked via the web interface.

second, the update script changes apache.conf, but from some reason it got deleted in the update. I don't know how, there is no deleting in the script at all. right now there is no apache.conf on the disk.

after trying to recover, the php module fail to work, so next week I'll install the new RC version.

[ the system that got broken is an installation of the last ISO, and upgraded all the way to 100053 ]

Hi,

I did a fresh install. First, with the new iso (RC-1), but it didn't recognize my hardisks (thought they are scsi or something, instead of /dev/hda).

so I installed again the 4.99 (last iso), and upgraded all the way. This time it went ok, BUT, now I'm having a new problem:

note: I tried to upgrade the 4.99 to RC-1 from the new disc, but there is no m23update file, as written in the README file.

I added a client, and I see it's written in the /m23/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. I reboot the client, it gets the IP and other data from the DHCP, starts "TPTP..." , and that's it. after a while it throughs me back my Lilo (previous install).

the m23/log/tftpd.log file is empty, but, the /var/log/syslog gets those lines:

The server is an old amd duron 650, with one 15 gb IDE hardisk connected as primary master, and one CDROM connected as secondary slave.
the network card is intel.

As I wrote, and new RC-1 iso wanted to install to /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda. previous ISO + updates went well. I didn't touch anything by hand, network is alive and there is enough free space.

Last time, ver 100053 worked fine. the problems started after the final upgrade (which seemed to went well).

I'm adding a new client (the first client), and it's the same client that worked with the previous version. I'm adding the mac address and IP address, which you can see in the syslog output. when starting the client, I get those messages in the syslog:
(it's similar to the last code I posted, but with more information about the tftp).

Hi,

well, the atftpd was install, and the tftpd-hpa wasn't. after apt-getting the later it's working again.

I've some more issues to discuss, but I'll continue them on the general questions forum, where they belong.

Thanks for the informative answer!
