Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

[Paul Scott]

An upgrade from 4.85 to 5.0.3 caused a great deal of errors during the install, on my CentOS server.  After the install, all of the REPORTS files were missing from the associated directory.  Thank goodness I had made a full backup of the original MailScanner files, and was able to put all of those files back again.  However, a great deal of spam is now getting through, and I am afraid that most of the settings in the mailscanner.conf file are somehow not working.  For example, the "required_hits" rule no longer seems to work.  Also the custom files are no longer readable by mailscanner, in particular, the "Config.pm" file that is used by MailWatch.  Also, MailWatch is no longer working at all.

Also, I am receiving the following error to the root user, every few minutes:

Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:50:02 -0800
From: Cron Daemon <root at mail.edenhosting.net>
To: root at mail.edenhosting.net
Subject: Cron <root at mail> /usr/local/bin/mailq.php

Cannot find configuration value: include in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

Any ideas about what happened and what I should do to get back on track?  I have been using MailScanner for more than 10+ years, and EVERY upgrade worked like a charm.  This is the first time that an upgrade has failed so badly.  Any help is greatly appreciated!
