HI to All,

I recently got burned again on the last Java update, so I am being more cautious and am asking the question on OS X Server 10.6.7 update? Is it ok to install..Any experiences yet?

I noticed there is many security fixes so I am keen to update.

I did notice that AFP volume paths had changed ...I had a lot of trouble with this last update to os x 10.6. I found my volume paths in robot scripts all seemed to change. I hope they will not change again.

Any experiences and advice here welcome

Regards,

Lance

I would definitely not install right away. Sit tight for a bit and let's see what reports come out.

Being the novice that I am I took the bait and upgraded. Now the admin tool will not launch. It seems users can still access the databases. I have already run Disk Utility but that did not cure the problem. Any ideas on what I can do?

1. Learn from this episode, and please don't do this again. Never run OS upgrades on a production machine without testing first.

2. See Tech Info 7937 to see if the patch helps any. The OS update may well have included the recent Java 24 update. If the patch does not work, then there is something else in the OS upgrade at work.

HI Steven,

Thanks for the advice and have taken it! (I'm sitting tight.)

Please keep me posted on a safe path to through this update when available.

The Macintouch site has reports today of various problems with OS 10.6.7.

HI Steven,

Thanks for that. Look forward to something from Filemaker soon. I would imagine new machines sold by apple and a growing number of new sales will mean Filemaker need to deal with this version.

Hi To All,

Here is an some info from filemaker on this. I was glad to get a response and appreciate getting something official from FM.

Of course, I am still moving forward carefully with my production machine.
