[xymon] Upgrade from 4.2.0 to 4.3.0-0 beta 2

[Geoff Hallford]

Yeah I did. I deleted:

~/data/*
~/server/tmp/*
~/server/www/bb.html
~/server/www/bb2.html
~/server/www/(all pages created from my bb-hosts configuration)

It then complained that it couldn't find the checkpoint file, so it knows
there was one.......Not sure what file i am missing to tell it that it is a
fresh install.

Thanks Vernon.
