Re: Sarge Upgrade DEBOCLE ! ! !
Kevin,
Thanks, for the device. I used a touch command follow by an apt-get
mentioned in a previous post to get past that error.
I was having problems with Apache, PHP4, proftpd and MySQL. I got
past most of those by installing the Webmin module which seem to
initiated a re-installation of the apps. Seems strange to me but it
worked.
Most everything seems to be working now but what a ride.
Thanks,
Brian
