Ted, thanks so much for the well-thought-out and informative reply.

Byte, it looks like there might be a problem with the installation of the e-smith-release RPM, but that's based on just a quick look at the util.pm file.  I'd expect there should be some information in Apache's error log file.

I have had this problem and I put it down to the fact that I was trying to restore a 4.1.2 backup on a 5.1.2 machine.


Restored data from command line.
