Re: [sipX-dev] Upgrade problem


One of our customers who is using 4.0.1 open source on a test server just
had their zone file deleted as Martin reported.  This was after they made a
change to add a gateway (Ingate SBC).  They have restored the original file
and took a snapshot.  They will attempt to reproduce and take a snapshot
post failure.  I will open a JIRA with details and provide snapshots.

FYI, they have upgraded one of their 4 production servers to SCS Rls 3.0 and
have not experienced the same condition, but they are monitoring that server
to see if occurs there also.

It sounds like it's not so much an upgrade problem as just a problem with
management of those files in the new version.

File an issue (with a snapshot before and after the files are modified,
please).
