Hi
Paul Catherall here from NEWI, North Wales.
Has anyone had any problems upgrading to 5.5 ?
We have a level 1 license installation of Blackboard running on Windows
2000 server.
Previously, we were at build 56, today we installed the 5.5 upgrade
(bb5_win_l1_v556129.exe)
We followed all the instructions in the 5.5 software update release notes,
and were able to install the main file in the archive
(bb5_update_win_11_v55base.exe)
However, we could not execute the additional perl file on the command
prompt as described in the release notes (package.pl)
After typing : perl package.pl
...at the correct directory location, we got the following error:
Can't extract package: permission denied
disconnection from from database 1512
...we tried the command several times, each time we got the same error,
only with a different database number, eg: 700
We looked in our system properties, and see that our build version is as
follows:
Software Version 5.5 - Build 128
License Type License Level 1 - MS SQL*Server
Date Installed Feb 26 2001 1:56PM
Last Updated 2001-06-29
..Obviously this is not the build number we should end up with as
described in the release notes. Our new build is 128, whilst the release
notes say we should have 129 on completion of the upgrade.
...Our Blackboard installation seems to be working ok, although we have yet
to do extensive tests to make sure of this.
We have considered that our Blackboard installation may continue to
function fine without the new perl file, but we'd appreciate it if anyone
could help us resolve this issue.
Much appreciated
