Dear all, I had a great idea (so I thought) about upgrading in the background while the sage server is still running. Here is what I did, but it didn't work for some reason: In OS X 10.4, I shut down the server briefly, changed into the sage directory, ran "cp -r * /newdirectory" and restarted the server at the original location. Then I wanted to run sage -upgrade in the new directory, but before doing so, I wanted to test whether it still worked. As always after moving the sage folder, it started with regenerating the install PATH, but this time something went wrong and sage does not run from this folder. Did I do something obviously wrong? Usually, I just copied the folder in the Finder and it mostly worked but this time I wanted to do it more elegantly and it failed. Should I have added a particular option to the copy command? I attached the error messages below. Thanks for your help already!
