Hi
My update from 7.1 to 7.2 went wrong :-(
I took a backup prior to the upgrade with dar2 (dmay's) and now I want to make a fresh install off the latest sme-version prior to 7.2 and then restore my backup.
But where do I find it the latest "old" version of sme?
And if you have some good advice, I'd love to hear about it.

For what its worth, here is what went wrong, and what I made to mess things up:
I have some contribs:
Disk ARchive
Sme7admin
phpmyadmin
smeserver-fetchmail
kronolith (not in use, but not removed :-(
groupoffice (not in use, but not removed :-(
The udgrade went wrong (no. I did not do a yum clean all), I don't know what went wrong. All I could see, was a message on the console (witch I didn't write down :-(
And all I could do (and did) was to turn off the power, and restart the server
It started with no problems as version 7.2. I was told there were new updates, so I did a new upgrade, and got the following errors:
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-pear
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-imap
Error: Missing Dependency: openssh = 3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1 is needed by package openssh-clients
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-mbstring
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-gd
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-domxml
Error: Missing Dependency: openssh = 3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1 is needed by package openssh-server
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-ldap
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-mysql
================================================================
No new rpms were installed. No additional commands are required.
================================================================
So, after a little search I made the following commands:
rpm --nodeps -e php-pear-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e php-imap-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e openssh-clients-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1
rpm --nodeps -e php-mbstring-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e php-gd-4.3.9-3.22.5
rpm --nodeps -e php-domxml-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1
rpm --nodeps -e php-ldap-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e php-mysql-4.3.9-3.22.5
After that, the udgrade went fine, but I don't get any mails, webmail is not working, and there are probably more problems

p1ur could you please add your problems to this bug. http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3185

no. I did not do a yum clean all
Well you probably should have done that
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-mysql
rpm --nodeps -e php-mysql-4.3.9-3.22.5
etc etc
That's telling you another package is needed, so you went an uninstalled all the packages that needed that package which has now broken your server. That was the wrong thing to do, you would probably have been much better off to install the required package
yum install php
As of now you could get yum to install all those packages
First check that all the correct repositories are enabled in server manager Software installer panel as per the FAQ.
Then do
yum clean all
then do
yum install php php-pear php-imap openssh-clients php-mbstring php-gd php-domxml openssh-server php-ldap php-mysql
Make sure you then do both
signal-event post-upgrade
reboot
If you prefer to reinstall
The latest "old" version is 7.1CD. If you install that and then run yum update, it will bring you to v7.2 (same place as you are now but a fully working version instead). Then you install dar2 and the other contribs you had previously installed and do a restore from your backup file.
Note after installing 7.1 from CD, you MUST follow the specific yum update instructions found in the FAQ and NOT do a general yum update first and enable the correct repositories as oer FAQ.

You'll know what to do next time, right?
And all I could do (and did) was to turn off the power, and restart the server
That probably wasn't a good idea.
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-pear
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.3 is needed by package php-imap
Error: Missing Dependency: openssh = 3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1 is needed by package openssh-clients
Those messages are an indication that you have had an interrupted upgrade, and you have multiple versions of some rpms installed - e.g. php-pear.
So, after a little search I made the following commands:
rpm --nodeps -e php-pear-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e php-imap-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e openssh-clients-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1
rpm --nodeps -e php-mbstring-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e php-gd-4.3.9-3.22.5
rpm --nodeps -e php-domxml-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1
rpm --nodeps -e php-ldap-4.3.9-3.22.3
rpm --nodeps -e php-mysql-4.3.9-3.22.5
You should never use --nodeps or --force unless you know exactly why you are using them.
After that, the udgrade went fine, but I don't get any mails, webmail is not working, and there are probably more problems
I'd advise you to diagnose exactly what is wrong before you undertake any more "corrective" action.
If you don't get any emails and webmail isn't working, then log files should contain messages which show what is going wrong.
What do these commands show:
rpm -qa | grep php
rpm -qa | grep openssh
?

OK

Bear with me, What I can find is this.

Those rpm versions match what's on my sme7.2 except that you have an old version of smeserver-phpmyadmin. The current one from dmay is
smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.10.0.2-0.dmay.noarch.rpm
So it seems you do have all the correct packages installed. Charlies analysis was correct (which it undoubtedly would be).

Help plz
I have ruined my bach-up, witch was on a removable USB-Harddisk
Before I started a clean install on my harddisk, I tested the restore on a minor HD (where I just restored the most essentiel)
It went fine, so I changed to the hard disk with the bad upgrade, and made a clean install off SME 7.2
BUT - I didn't notice, that the USB-harddisk was attach, so the installations process has somehow included this harddisk as well. I think its been formatted and included in a raid.
Is there anyway, that I can get my data back?
