Hi Fred, Thanks for your reply.
The original installation was installed as root and the server still runs as this. The upgrade is also being run as root. Re the installation xml; that explains why there isn't one in 7.1! I've already checked the installation log files and they don't allude to anything unusual. I've also logged a call with BMC Support so will see what they say :P Cheers, J _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
