Topic: Masq error on upgrade to 6.0

[Craig]

Hi Folks,

I just bit the bullet and upgraded to 6.0   To be safe I backup up my 5.5 server and did a restore on a machine I installed 6.0 on.

On boot up I'm getting this error:

Nov 23 01:26:56 e-smith masq: /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq: line 536: syntax error near unexpected token "done"'
Nov 23 01:26:56 e-smith masq: /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq: line 536:     echo "done"'
Nov 23 01:26:56 e-smith rc: Starting masq:  failed

When I look at the file it looks like this
------------------
;;
"done"
;;
------------------
If I delete the first  set of ";;" and save the file, I can start the Masq service. Still have some problems thought because I'm not getting and DNS resolution, I have to use IP addresses.

Anyone have an idea on what this means?  I'm assuming something came over from the 5.5 machine that's not compatible with 6.0.  

Anyway I can set masq back to it's default setup?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

I have not installed 6.0, but I ran into troubles using a 5.5 backup file to restore a fresh 5.6 server.  Since you have your 5.6 backup file, reinstall 5.6, restore your file then do an upgrade install of 6.0..
