Hi Roger

Thank you for your email.

I tried upgrading as you suggested, however, my server is so outdated the
upgrade killed my database and web servers as the configs are not
compatible. I had to roll back to a backup.

I have set up another relay, PGSams2TORNode (version 0.3.10), with much the
same config on a new server. I will either update the current server or
just migrate its content to the new one and host the exit relay there.

Regards
Paul
