Topic: Updating SME

[Chris Mingay]

Hi.

Forgive me if I have missed something deadly obvious, but is there a specific way to update your SME server? I dunno, like a command that you run, and it goes off and installs all required updates.

Currently running SME6.0b3, thanks!

Hello.

You must download all update files from one of your nerarest e-smith mirrors to the server.

Then move to that folder and execute command: rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm
when the install has completed, run his command:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade

this performes post installation tasks ( quite a lengthy process)
when it has completed run this command:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

this will reboot the server and during bootup perform post-installation tasks that needs to be run at bootup.

as far as i have understood it ran's these command on the current directory. when there is a subdirectory ( like the protpd patch)  you need to run all these command there too.
the instructions are included in the readme file in the updates directory and at the updates page.

hope this helps

Hiya, thanks for the reply.

I was being a moron, I was looking for the updates on the mirror, but didnt think to look in the dev directory, woops

Everything updated fine, once I actually found the things!

Thanks again
