SP2.5 is failing to start : CRIT Shibboleth.Listener : failed to bind to socket.

[Joshua Brodie]

Hi:

Solved - working now.

I update the 'shibboleth2.xml' file:

From:  <UnixListener address="/var/run/shibd.sock" />

 To:  <UnixListener address="/var/run/shibboleth/shibd.sock" />


The file was not changes previous to the SP upgrade - why did it fail
after upgrade only?
