Botched Upgreade

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Botched Upgreade

Post by DeerWeather »

Looking for some troubleshooting tips...

I had MX running as a service on a headless Debian server for a couple of years. Today I decided to upgrade to the latest MX version.
After stopping the service on the Debian server, I used Termius on a Windows machine to copy over the files from the latest version to the /opt/cumulusmx directory overwriting the older version. I used this process last time I upgraded and don't recall having any issues.

I didn't change anything else

Below is the current status of my service which is failing to start!
