I know this must be the problem, because their was a typo in Genex.pm
that prevented the use of a port number. So you must have been using
Unix domain sockets to talk to the wrong DB all along.

Ok. Fix is now checked into CVS. To get it do the following:

$ cvs -d :pserver:ano...@ge...:/home/cvsroot/opengenex login 
(Logging in to ano...@ge...)
CVS password: [no password, just hit enter]

$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:ano...@ge...:/home/cvsroot/opengenex \
co -r Rel-1_0_1-branch genex-server

When you run install-all.pl, you will need to tell it that you are
doing an update ([U] instead of [N]), and then tell it what the root
of your previous installation was. Then go into prompting mode and
specify the values for Host and Port that you *intended* to use all
along. 

Let me know how it goes.

jas.

PS. If you don't want to get it from CVS for any reason, let me know
and Harry or I will cut a new release this weekend. But be nice, I've
got an OMG deadline on Monday, and a paper deadline the following
Monday. So only ask *two* miracles from me ... ;-)
