Hi, have SME Server 7.0rc1 loaded and thought I would check to see how / if it needs updating.
The software installer suggests updates are available but when I click to install there is a blank page.
I have searched the list and read to run ;
yum clean metadata
yum update
What is the 'official' way of updating a release to the latest / secure / fixed versions ?
Thanks !

This has been brought up many times and is in the bugtracker as well, if I remember correctly it is a bug in parsing the list of RPM's in the webinterface. It was fixed in 7RC2. To get around it:
[list=1]- Get access to your server command line
- Issue the following command which will update your system:
yum update - Be sure to issue the last commands that yum suggests after the upgrade is done.[/list:o]

Thanks Cactus - will this action effectively bring up RC1 to the same level as the latest release ?
Also, is it fairly safe to do on a clients server which is in constant use ?

Yes it should do.

I guess it will result in some problems, a lot of stuff is updated and eventually a reboot will be needed, so a little downtime will be there, maybe you can do it overnight?
