RE: [cobalt-users] Not again, Secure site offline after crash (RAQ2)

["Paul Alcock" <webmgr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Top posting normally gets some response even it's only flames!
I've been sending emails to brosoft since 10pm yesterday, still no reply
Here's what I think I need to do, can anyone point me in the right
direction.
After backing up the virtual sites and the /etc directory.
I tried to reinstall the lastest pkg from brosoft but the gui declines
stating
that it is already installed.

I'm guessing that the pkg installed is broken (no other pointers so far)
So without screwing up the current cert, how should I uninstall the pkg and
then reinstall it.

(I'm guessing that something happened to the pkg during the forced reboot.)

Any other clues on what to do next (other than find a short pier and fast
car) would be appreceiated.

(perhaps I should change my name as well as becoming a US citizen to get a
useful response.)

A couple of Irony's from the citizen ceromony...
1. It was held in the Mohammed Ali Auditorium of the Miami Beach Convention
Center.
2. There were 3,000 'New' citizens processed.
3. There were two other cermonies that day processing similar numbers.
