Topic: Updating SME 7.0 to 7.1 fails with all approaches Ideas?

[tstokovaz]

I've tried reading and rereading various approaches to updating from 7.0 to 7.1 and have come up blank. I'm new but learning quickly. Can anyone spot something or explain what I need to tell you so I can get this updated? It is our main webserver and e-mail so I must get it right.

So far I tried a regular yum update, then I removed the smeserver-userpanels, then tried again. Then I tried by updating just the four packages mentioned on contribs. then another yum update. I get the feeling I may not be pointing to the right mirrors but am not certain how to set it correctly. thanks for any help you can give.

Have you already tried to upgrade all yum related packages first? You can do this from a server shell like this:

Code: [Select]

yum upgrade *yum*I had a problem once going from 7.0 to 7.1 that was fixed this way. After that the post-upgrade and reboot events and after the system came up again a retry to update the whole system again, either using the server manager or using the command line:

Code: [Select]

yum update

I was getting lots of mirror failures and no more mirrors to try messages. Waited till Sunday and all went well after a yum clean all. Works fine as far as I can tell.

Thanks.

That might have been caused by mirror updates because of the release of SME Server 7.1.3. Nice to hear that everything is OK now.
