By now you should know the routine:
what failed?
Which way did it fail? Show us your script, show us the error message it produced, show us the return codes, log entries, diagnostic messages or whatever sheds light on the problem.
Finally: did you try what i told you? And - if it didn't work either - how did it not work (same as/see above)?
I don't want to threaten you but i am probably one of a (rapidly dwindling) group willing to even read, let alone answer, your threads. You show so little effort in even trying to understand what one tells you that it is frustrating. This way you have turned away most of the knowledgeable people writing here. They simply do not deem it worth their time trying to help a hopeless cause.
If you do not want to further reduce this group to zero and to avoid your threads being met by stony silence only you need to understand that your problem, regardless of us helping you or not, still remains
your problem. You have to put
effort (read: work and thinking) into finding a solution and that means at the very least to describe the problem as detailed as possible and to provide necessary information proactively instead of only after being asked. We are willing to recognize the intent and overlook deficiencies in the work but you don't even show the intent and this is what drives many of my friends here away. We may help you to help yourself but we are not your paid helpdesk. Furthermore we have no responsibilty to help you, we do it for fun - but in helping you there is no fun at all.
You may want to think about that.
