JDS and Server 5

[willpolley]

Do not update to Server 5 if it hosts a JDS instance.

The config for the web server on Server 5 has changed in a way that causes JDS to no longer install.

Any update on an actual fix?

[JCMBowman]

I, too, would be interested to know if there is a fix for this.

Specifically - how do we upgrade the JDS on a server that has has already been updated to Server 5.0.x and the workaround applied? The JDS installer app does not work for the upgrade process.
