Hi Louis,What version were you intending to upgrade to?For the "no such file or directory" error you can try manually creating the parent dir with mkdir "/tmp/deleted_transaction_files/"That is not the ideal solution, but may allow the upgrade to proceed. (I'm not at a computer so can't try testing to confirm cause or if this will help)RegardsDavid GSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: "Louis B.
