Boris,

We do not update automatically the database schema or configuration for the following reasons.

* PacketFence does not store the MySQL root password database user in our configurations. * The PacketFence database user does not have the permission to add and alter tables.
* This may break custom code/database schema's
* Upgrade a database can take a long time if you have a huge database it makes it harder to plan downtime. * New features and/or bugs fixes require changes in configuration that cannot be determined.

This is why we advise to always read the upgrade guide before upgrading PacketFence.

James,

Yes, you are right. I now got packetfence-5.0.0-1.el6.noarch

I think DB upgrades need to be part of automatic package upgrades. I got yum to do it automatically for me - but the DB ends up being left behind.

Thanks for your help debugging this one.

Boris.

    Boris It looks like you did not upgrade your database when you
    updated packetfence.

        James,

        Thanks!

        Based on the admin GUI and ps output the httpd.webservices
        process is running. What should I look at next?

        Boris.

            Can you make sure that is running first!

            The investigation is ongoing... Stand by for more updates.

                Hello listmates,

                Check server side logs for details.

                Does anybody know how to interpret this?
