Having issues with MiaB server (SSH, email on computer, updating, etc)

I thought I would be cool by symlink-ing my second drive for the backup directory last night. Seem to work, but after the backup ran last night everything is a mess.

I can SSH in but only from a machine in my datacenter rack rather than my computer at home. My computer doesn’t access the email but my phone did for awhile but not any more. Clients are calling in to complain they can’t access as well.

I figured the prudent thing to do was to update the app But I get this…

Mail-in-a-Box Version: v74

Since that didn’t work, I have decided to unlink the symlink. That alone didn’t work, so now I am running a new full backup.

Any other suggestions?
Keith.

Tried to do the update on my other MiaB (same rack at the data center) and I got the same outcome. I am hoping this means my trouble update the MiaB is not my fault.
