      Hi All,
      I upgraded to 2.2 about a week ago, and after the upgrade, it would not pass traffic.    I didn't read the release notes that said to to a upgrad from the earlier version you needed to uninstall the optional modules :(

      I'm going to try to back up the config, reset the box and reload the config - and reinstall if that fails.

      Before I do all that, I'd like to ask and see if anyone out there has any suggestions on how I can recover.  When I go through the config menu's, all the entrie's are there.  If anyone has any hints, please pass them along.
        Thanks

        Restore the full backup you made prior to upgrading
        OR
        Install fresh and then restore your config.xml backup

        If you don't have a full backup or a config backup of your previous install then you're screwed.  If you are a paying support customer and have the AutoConfigBackup package installed, then you maybe able to restore based on that but I've never used AutoConfigBackup to restore a previous version's config file or if it's even possible.

        Otherwise you can make a config.xml backup with package information removed (it's a checkbox) and then do a restore and manually add/configure your packages.
