Topic: cannot get to admin console

[cactus]

I would download the rpm and force the reinstall..

I would do so as well, but perhaps this might work as well:

Code: [Select]

rpm -e --nodeps dialog
yum install dialog

That looks like the correct answer to me also. I will wait until a weekend or maybe over Christmas holidays and give it a shot.

Will report back once it is complete.

Thanks again for all your help and Happy Holidays to all...............

Just a note,

The sad thing about the location I am working on with this server is that it is moving to Windows Server 2008 in the middle of January. Their main application is built on Microsoft SQL server. The MS licensing alone for 25 users is around US $9,500.

I will not have contribs.org for reference and pointers in troubleshooting these kinds of problems and I have not found a good replacement for the VPN DAR offsite backup I am using so they will be going back to rotating tapes for their backup.

Why can't software vendors see that using open source platforms allows them to charge more for their software rather then giving half of the cost of the install to MS??

PS> Just a little off topic rant and a Big Thanks to Contribs.org and the users and developers that make it so great........

You guys did it again.

I would do so as well, but perhaps this might work as well:

Code: [Select]

rpm -e --nodeps dialog
yum install dialog

I had to use Cactus'

Code: [Select]

rpm -e --nodeps dialog
Then I took Stefano's suggestion and went out to pbone.net, found the correct RPM, dropped it on the server and yum localinstalled it.

Console now works like it is supposed too.

thanks a lot for your help.
