Hi Derek
The backups are the ones you suggested. The backup of the /usr/local/pf
directory, along with a dump of the DB.
The previous upgrade I have tried does not seem to work correctly. Below is
the output from when I try to restart the PacketFence service after the
upgrade. (i followed all the items in the upgrade document)
*OUTPUT*
[root@packetfence01 conf]# /etc/init.d/packetfence restart
