FAH linux help

Lucek · March 23, 2020

So It's late and my brain isn't working also I've not run FAH for a while so any help is appreciated.

if I run

sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient start

I get
Starting fahclient ... FAIL

if I run

sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient log

I get

02:05:06: 
02:05:06: <team v='223518'/>
02:05:06:
02:05:06: 
02:05:06: <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
02:05:06:</config>
02:05:06:Switching to user fahclient
02:05:06:Trying to access database...
02:05:06:ERROR:Exception: Database version is 16 but this program only supports 13

I'm on 7.4.4 which from what I can tell is the current client

7.5.1.1 is the latest version currently. They haven't updated their manual instructions site to include the latest version.
