Trouble with "Updating" 2.46 -> 2.55 and HTML R

Hello,

after upgrading to 2.55 I got an unexplainable error and don't where to look for... I "updated" the following way:
Installed in a new directory. After the install a copies teh following file/dirs into the new dir:

perferences.xml
users
DefaultJobDB.dat (my Jobdatabase)
Queue (directory)
master.sh (where I customized the JAVA_HOME directory).
license

Then I changed the symbolic link from the old directory to the new:

before:
24x7_Scheduler -> 24x7_Scheduler_246
after:
24x7_Scheduler -> 24x7_Scheduler_255

The GUI comes up right normal but when I startet a job interactively the following appeared in the debug.log:

2008-04-30 13:16:06,995 [Job #69 - bamacc:check_views] ERROR com.softtreetech.jscheduler.business.runner.RemoteJobRunner - runJob

Where does this error points to?? Any idea?

Another thing is that the HTML-reporting doesn't produce any entries. I found out that it may has something to do with the LANG environment but I still wasn't able to find any "rule". I don't know how often I completly cleaned the report dir and started over the master. I also doubt that it may has something to with the "Job statistics enabled" trigger. But I'm not sure...
Shouldn't there at leat *always* (after cleaning up reports and starting over ) the entry "scheduler has been started" as the first HTML report-message.
PS : After cleaning the reports-dir and starting over the master the 'index.htm', '<date>.html' are generated - but no messages inside.

Thanks in advance fpr your support.

I think the most import part in the error is here "java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe" The connection between the server and agent aborts in a middle of job processing. Is there a firewall or other network device such as IDS monitoring for suspicious network connections? How long does it take for the error to occur after starting the job manually? Does it happen right away, or after a while?

Sorry - still had no time to do some other tests. I'll let you know...

I have your 'p.s.' issue, I think/hope it's still on the list as I've raised it a couple of times.

Thanks barfootguru for the tip. I managed to get the HTMP report working by playing around with the LANG variable (Linux). Don't know exact why it's working or not.

BUT this 255 version drives me crazy - what does this mean? :

Oh my god!
Forget all about my questions for upgrading to 255. I did this only on the master and still not on the remote agents. I just upgraded one and the errors are gone.

*feeling ashamed* :-)

Finding problems and fixing them... isn't that what we are all doing most of the time?

The good thing is that the problem is hopefully fixed.
