Ok, here in EST I did not catch the problem for 3 hours..I did not hear my pager. Since then I’ve been restarting the server every 15 minutes. I finally added a cron job to do it for me. We recently lost our CGP admin so I’m leary of trying to upgrade or downgrade at this time since I’ve never actually done this before.  I can get no answer at Stalker  and based on their posted support hours it will be 9:00 a.m. (2.5 hours after the students and faculty in Southwest Ohio heat things up) befpre I’ll be able to get help.

 

I’m watching the list in hopes of a firm solution but maybe some sleep is in order now.

I know this doesn't really help, but a CGP upgrade is brain-dead simple:
1 - shut down the current running CGP (or just wait the 15 minutes for
it to happen on it's own ;-)
2 - run the new CGP installer
3 - reboot server (this may not be necessary)

Note that the above refers to my use of the Mac OS X version of
CGP...the process may be different for other systems, I make no
guarantees.

I wonder if on Solaris/SPARC I must first "pkgrm STLKCGPro" and then
pkgadd it, or just pkgadd the new version?

Trial by fire. Thanks for your help but we got it figured out. I had done upgrades on test windows boxes before but not on the productions system. It was "brain-dead" simple.

I'm sure by tomorrow my blood pressure will have returned to normal.

On Solaris (SPARC also) I ALWAYS do that, and it has worked fine for me
in the past.

Always do what? Which variant?

I always remove (with pkgrm) and then add (with pkgadd).

This is what I get when I don't get any sleep. I'm sorry I wasn't clear

The .rpm upgrade is just as brain-dead simple:
(http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/Install.html#Upgrade)

First wget (url to .rpm package)
(wget
http://www.stalker.com/pub/CommuniGatePro/CGatePro-Linux-4.2-8.i386.rpm) for
us
Stop the CommuniGate Pro Server.
(We use /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S80CommuniGate stop)
rpm -e CGatePro-Linux
rpm -i CGatePro-Linux-version.rpm
Start the CommuniGate Pro Server.
(We use /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S80CommuniGate start)

all done - Same disclaimer as Jeff though - this is our procedure for SuSE
Linux, Intel i386 CPU series with an .rpm (not .tgz) install

Save a copy of the init.d script, if you changed it at all.
Then do "pkgrm STLKCGPro", then pkgadd, and finally restore or edit
the init.d script.

Remove the old package first.
