[AG-TECH] Upgrading to 2.2

[Brian Corrie]

Hello all,

I found that removing AG 2.1.2 was not enough. I have not tried the new 
release but with the beta I found that things did not work until I got 
rid of the 2.1.2 AccessGrid folder in the Application Data folder for 
each user. This is not removed by the 2.1.2 removal.

It seemed like it was picking up old configuration information as Tom 
implies (the wrong port). Other odd things seemed to be happening as 
well before I removed the AccessGrid folder (I couldn't save new configs 
- actually I code save them but it would never load them or find them 
again).

I removed 2.1.2, then renamed the AccessGrid folder, then did a 2.2 
install. Everything then starts up correctly with the new Service 
Manager and Node Manager on the correct ports with the default services 
starting automatically... Remeber that your certs are in the AccessGrid 
folder, so you will need to re-import them with 2.2. That is why you 
should not delete the AccessGrid folder 8-)

Cheers,

Brian
