Stupid suggestion - If it isn't there already, write the current database
schema version into the database after every schema update.  When the
admin console logs in, have it display a big, red, flashing error box if
the DB schema and current PF version are not compatible.  I'm sure that
Boris isn't the first person that missed the manual database schema
upgrade step this month, and it is worth the effort of checking.

For extra credit, it should also check to see if the admin has one of
those USB-connected Nerf missile launchers on his/her desk, and open fire
towards the keyboard if it finds one and a schema mis-match... :-)

Louis,

I definitely never ran any upgrade scripts. That seems to be somewhat a caveat 
- I mean, it is standard practice to run your updates routinely, and here it 
seems in case of PacketFence there is a manual part to it which a sysadmin 
would not normally expect.

At any rate, let me see if I can run it - and thanks again for your expert 
advice:)

Boris.
