help!
i was running the upgrade of barracuda midway walked away from the computer for a while, (i meant to get up but fell asleep, oops)
it was asking the question if i wanted to install something yes or no when connection crashed

now i have tried to run it again to complete its upgrade and i get this:

[blockquote]server:~# barracuda up-stable
Another BOA installer is running probably - /var/run/boa_run.pid exists
server:~#
[/blockquote]

it just back at the prompt
server:~#
what do I do now after my blockhead mistake? how do i make it continue?
thanks

if your connectino crashed,

if your connectino crashed, most probably your bash script also stopped along with it. Just remove /var/run/boa_*.pid (2 files) and start over.

I had a similar issue and

I had a similar issue and solved this way:

  1. delete the PID's (there are 2 in total)
  2. $cd /var/run/
  3. $mv boa_run.pid boa_run.pid.old
  4. $mv boa_wait.pid boa_wait.pid.old
  5. $barracuda up-stable (WAIT it takes a while -- Major Update)
  6. $octopus up-stable all

I had an issue where I could not connect to the DB to access my Barracuda Admin Site. Simple restart of the server fixed it for me.

Good luck!

Use screen

In the future always start screen first:

$ screen
$ (hit Enter or Space)
$ (proceed with other commands as usual)

If your connection crashes in the middle, simply re-connect and type:

$ screen -r

Wow. That's useful! Thanks.
