Applying a patch to ACS5.3 - change patch file ext ?

hI All

About to apply a patch for the first time on the ACS 5.3 tonight.

Ihave tftp'd it onto a directory i have created on the server.

However my support hints i may havre to rename the file ?

is this true ?

copy the latest patch file you got from Cisco – you may need to rename as gpg)

Current filename is 5-3-0-40-7.tar.tar

so would i need to rename this as 5-3-0-40-7.tar.gpz

if so i will rename it on my pc and redownload it on tftp

Kind Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

For some reason the browser IE and Firefox usually change the patch extension to ".tar.tar" this extension will not work, however this can be easily fixed if you rename the file name to ".tar.gpg"

Also try using FTP or SFTP as there are some issues with TFTP.

Let me know how it goes.

Applied patch .

You were right tftp didnt work - it caused a corruption of the file

I managed to upgrade the main ACS but now i have an issue

where 2 of my wireless networks are auth-ing to my bcp ACS

Anyone seen this before - i donrt get it as the BCP ACS is supposed

to be on standby
