[BlueOnyx:02397] Re: No main menu after big YUM Update

Tue Sep 15 02:58:10 -05 2009

I ran once into a similar problem some time ago (on an old RAQ550 server),
when upgrading with yum.
I dont remember the config file which I modified for the GUI to work. It was
the problem of php upgrading from php4 to php5, and the gui showed blank.
Maybe its related to this , maybe not. I'll have a look if I find the
analogue of that config file on my BO server.

Rgds,

Enid
