Re: [Server-devel] Possible Jabber Problem on Server
I was very explicit in my instructions: 1) Remove the package. 2) Remove the database. 3) Install the package. Installing the package probably rebuilds the database. If you re-install without removing the old database, the re-install seems to re-use the old database.

Re: [Server-devel] Possible Jabber Problem on Server
John, Maybe you misinterpreted my question. I was asking if there was a way to wipe out the database and create a new one without reinstalling. Obviously reinstalling ejabberd creates a new database. Martin had suggested that we can just wipe out the database without reinstalling the package. So back to the question: Can the database be wiped out and recreated without reinstalling?

So back to the question: Can the database be wiped out and recreated without reinstalling? We haven't tested it :-/ (it all depends on exactly what triggers an empty DB setup). OTOH, we know that uninstalling/reinstalling the rpm does the trick reliably (so it is better than my earlier suggestion). It will remove the xs-pkgs package, but that won't cause any short-term problem. Reinstall it as well just in case for better long term behaviour ;-) cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
