I had problems when upgrading Midgard 1.4 to 1.4.1 (or 2). I had to do the database upgrade scripts in Midgard (they aren't part of the RPMs) on my old database. I configured, then looked at the output, and did the steps singly, checking what effect they had had on the database. Then I did the same with nadmin. Then I went in with phpMyAdmin to change the users and passwords, so I could actually get in, before any of the administration tools (Asgard, nadmin) actually worked. -- Dr. David R.
