Hi Michael,

Further update.

I re-ran a test on a vm but using the pakfire commands from the console (request from someone on the forum).

It failed again but with a different error message this time. I don't believe this was due to the different upgrade method but I suspect a timing related issue is more likely to be occurring.

The message in the log was:

|Stopping Apache daemon... [ OK ] Starting Apache daemon... (98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:81 (98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:81 no listening sockets available, shutting down|

Regards,

Adolf.
