Re: Moving Post.Office-Solution

Just as a follow up, I thought I'd let everyone know what I did to mess up
the initial move. Where the instructions say:
------------
2. Restore the three file system directories (containing the Post.Office
executables, the Post.Office account and configuration information, and your
mailbox information), as well as the configuration file from your backup, on
top of the current versions.   This can be performed by moving the
"po_backup.tgz" that was created in your home directory during the backup
process to the root of your hard drive and then issuing the Terminal
command: 
sudo tar zxvfp /po_backup.tgz
------------
You should make sure you're executing this command from the root level of
your drive (cd /). I must have executed it from my home directory, because
it actually untar'd everything there, which I never noticed. Then I somehow
got stuff untar'd into the proper directories, but then not, and in the end
I just had a big old mess.

I finally removed everything I could find PO related this morning, and I
still wasn't able to reinstall PO (it kept wanting to upgrade it). So I
re-ran the command above to untar my backup, this time making sure I was at
the root of the drive, and it seems like everything untar'd and is now
running fine.

Of course, I'm a bit scared now that I might have deleted TOO much, but I'll
cross that bridge when I get to it. I have to say that I'm not too afraid of
the terminal, but give me a good old GUI any day. :)
