Yes\u00adter\u00adday the latest release (4.0) of Debi\u00adan<\/a> came out. I decided to be big and brave and upgrade imme\u00addi\u00adately; I\u2019ve nev\u00ader had any prob\u00adlems with upgrad\u00ading Debi\u00adan before and did\u00adn\u2019t expect to now. It took forever to down\u00adload, ages to install (with me keep\u00ading all the old con\u00adfig files as I always do). And then, at the end, our inter\u00adnet con\u00adnec\u00adtion was dead. Our inter\u00adnet con\u00adnec\u00adtion is via PPP<\/span>, which was tricky to set up, so it seemed best to tackle the prob\u00adlem in the morn\u00ading rather than risk mak\u00ading things worse.<\/p>\n

This morn\u00ading I found that the ppp<\/code> script in the \/etc\/init.d<\/code> dir\u00adect\u00adory was\u00adn\u2019t there, but a #ppp#<\/code> script was, with the right con\u00adtent. So I renamed the file back to ppp<\/code>, checked the backups to put the right sym\u00adlinks into the vari\u00adous \/etc\/rx.d<\/code> dir\u00adect\u00ador\u00adies, and rebooted. Voila! An inter\u00adnet con\u00adnec\u00adtion. Now I just have to fig\u00adure out why apache2<\/code> isn\u2019t run\u00adning. [Update: because it was upgraded to ver\u00adsion 2.2 and the authen\u00adtic\u00ada\u00adtion con\u00adfig file syn\u00adtax was changed, that\u2019s why.]<\/p>\n

I have no idea wheth\u00ader the PPP<\/span> prob\u00adlem came from the dis\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtion, or some\u00adthing odd in my con\u00adfig\u00adur\u00ada\u00adtion (although I\u2019ve done full dist-upgrades before with no prob\u00adlems). I did a hunt on the Debi\u00adan wiki and found that Debi\u00adan has added more PPPoE<\/a> sup\u00adport recently, so maybe there was a clash in there some\u00adhow. I\u2019m glad I was para\u00adnoid enough to make backups of the \/etc<\/code> dir\u00adect\u00adory to com\u00adpare with. At some stage I guess I should fig\u00adure out wheth\u00ader to replace the cur\u00adrent con\u00adfig\u00adur\u00ada\u00adtion with the new Debi\u00adan sys\u00adtem, although I don\u2019t like muck\u00ading about too much with things that actu\u00adally work, espe\u00adcially when it comes to some\u00adthing as vital as being able to con\u00adnect to the Net. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
