Manfred. One of the advantages to using Firebird is that it stored it's
databases as a single portable file. On our server these are stored in
/opt/firebird/data/ and should be accessible (maybe not). As long as
you've stopped the forum application so no connections are open to the
database, then you can simply copy the file. I copy and move firebird
database files around all the time.

Hi.

I need to do a database upgrade for the forum database.
Planned to do this on Sunday.
How can I do a database backup?
It might be enough to make a database dump of the forum database only.
Firebird admin login data I have.
Is there anything I need to be aware of?

I think I've got this fixed. The problem was that tomcat sets the java.io.tmpdir=$CATALINA_BASE/temp, but the directory didn't exist for sites 1 - 4.

I've created the temp directory for them.

Let me know if it works now?

In Him,
DM

Postponing the upgrade to early next week. 
The procedure is unclear to whether database upgrades are necessary for version 1.3 of the forum. 
Awaiting some answers from the developers first. 

Currently we have a strange issue in the forum. The captcha image is not visible. So right now no one will be able to register. 
Found this in the logs:

Looks like the captcha image is attempted to be stored to a temp folder but this fails. 
Not sure though where mvnforum is trying to store the image.
