If you have already updated to version 3.0.0.4, please run the attached file to ensure proper functioning of your EFA...

I had a couple of bugs in this script. Line 48 had an extra "fi" and the empty functions "update-3.0.0.2()" and "update-3.0.0.1()" caused errors.

I deleted lines 48 and 148-165 and it worked. The empty functions could have an echo added to them to make them valid functions.

This fixed the 3.0.0.3 bug where the "EFA-Configure" command didn't bring up the menu and just exited back to the prompt.

how about some instructions on how to run this?

[shawniverson]

Errors fixed. Also converted from dos to unix file format.

Instructions...

Code: Select all

wget -O ./update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh.zip http://forum.efa-project.org/download/file.php?id=22
unzip  ./update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh.zip
chmod u+x ./update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh
sudo ./update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh

this works,
Thank You!

Just noticed....some of you that may be using open-vm-tools...

Make sure you have a real vmtoolsd init script (and that it is not 0 bytes in size)

Code: Select all

sudo wget -O /etc/init.d/vmtoolsd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/E-F-A/v3/3.0.0.4/build/EFA/vmtoolsd.init --no-check-certificate

Ran EFA-Update to go form fresh install to v3.0.0.4 ran the bash script and that worked fine, i then read the vmtools bit and tried to download it but i keep getting SSL error "cert common name www.github.com doesnt match requested hostname raw.githubusercontent.com

If i run with the --no-check-certificate i get error 404

When i did the upgrade using efa-update i did notice this aswell

Cheers

[shawniverson]

double check your syntax, the above command with --no-check-certificate is working for me.

Hi all,

I have a little problem.

When i try to do :

sudo ./update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh

I have the error :

sudo: unable to execute ./update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh: Permission denied

I'm in the tmp directory

If i try : sudo sh /tmp/update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh/update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh
I have the error : /tmp/update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh/update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh: line 86: `update-3.0.0.4': not a valid identifier

[shawniverson]

Try running the script somewhere else besides /tmp

Hi

After 3.0.0.4 update issues I stopped using efa for my system as it all got too difficult, I was testing it on my domain and if I had been using it for clients this would have caused a lot of ear ache.

Anyway I find that one of my clients has from their own volition chosen to use efa so I want to have another go at solving the 3.0.0.4 update issue.

I have a snapshot of the system before the last aborted attempt so I feel I should revert to that first run the update, and then run the script. (That is the script which has a fix on it).

However when I try

wget -O ./update-3.0.0.4-fix.sh.zip http://forum.efa-project.org/download/file.php?id=22

wget: unable to resolve host address âforum.efa-project.orgâ

I can not ping forum.efa-project.org

Is the script listed at the top of the page still wrong?

Any help would be most welcome.

Sorry just being daft the DNS service does not seem to be running right on the efa server.
