that's been discussed here before. 1.3.x is recommended because there are PHP functions which call non-thread-safe libraries. this is a problem if you're running apache threaded. it isn't a problem though if you're running apache in fork mode. in any case, i doubt if that's the problem here. i never do automatic updates via urpmi on production servers because of this kind of problem. generally what i do is test on a copy (some slower box that's used just for testing things) and then, if everything is right (not that i actually test everything, but i do at least basic sanity checking, is the daemon up and running, does it perform basic services correctly) then i deploy. something i've always wanted to do (but haven't, mainly because i haven't needed to, since i only maintained a few servers at a time) was CVS or SVN the /etc/ directory. that way, after any auto-updates it would be easy to see what things had changed, what files had been added, what changes had been made, etc, and if changes were destructive, to switch back to the old working setup (possibly, but not necessarily, removing the new packages and installing the old). but back to the original problem, mhac, do you have backups of your /etc? if you do, you could diff the old and new config files and see what's different. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Mene sakhet ur-seveh -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
