The upgrade of iRedAdmin-PRO MySWL is giving me problems ever since v.3.0. The primary issue is my case is that I cannot make the iredadmin service work for me. In my setup I use uWSGI instead.

This is the upgrade console of my upgrade from v.3.8 to v.4.2:

The script removes the uWSGI iredadmin.ini file from /usr/local/etc/uwsgi which causes the uWSGI to fail on start-up.

I am basically (still) confused as to uWSGI has to be enabled (uwsgi_enable="YES") in order for iredadmin to work.

I have a set-up that works for me, but not as intended by design:

from my rc.conf:

mlmmjadmin_enable="YES"

uwsgi_enable="YES"
uwsgi_profiles="iredadmin"
uwsgi_iredadmin_flags="--ini /usr/local/etc/uwsgi/iredadmin.ini"

iredadmin_enable="YES"

uWSGI binds to port 7791. The iredadmin service wants to do the same, which of course fails. But it works for me...
