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.

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

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

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.
