Topic: 5.0 upgrade failure

[Blake]

I downloaded the 5.0 iso last night. I went to my 4.1.2 server which has
been working for some time now and booted from the CD. I chose
update and let it do its thing. After about 10 or 15 minutes it
said the update was successful. When I rebooted the machine I
tested the Internet Access from the control console. Tested fine.
I then went to one of my Windows machines and couldn't access the
Web.  I checked and found it wasn't getting an IP from the DHCP
on the e-smith box. I tried two other machines, all of which were
working before the upgrade and found none of them worked either.
It appears as though DHCP isn't dishing out IPs.
I know I can access the net from the server because I am writing
this from the text browser on the server but for some reason the
upgrade seems to have failed.
Oh yes, I also installed the upgrade 1 blade.

Well of course all you have to do is post a public message and then it will work for sure.  For some reason it is working now.  Don't ask me what was different...

DO I correctly understand you...
that 5.0 is the upgrade for 4.1.2 servers?

I was waiting for the "new" release to reinstall.
My 4.1.2 has not been configured only installed and the tires kicked.

Does 5.0 break anything due to it's commercial base?
I really don't understand the new version and the "now" commercial status?
If I want the newest free version ... do I have to stick with 4.1.2?

Thank you for your reply.

Now.  5.0 is the upgrade.  I was able to reinstall Samba and got it back up and running.  For some reason when I upgraded 4.1.2 to 5.0 it broke the Samba setup.  I just re-did the install per Dan Brown's How-to (www.familybrown.org/howtos) and it worked again.
