Running the updater doesn't "break" the installation, I actually advice everyone to run the updater.
After successfully running the update just edit the file <planeshift>/data/servers.xml and change
<serverlist>
<server name="Fragnetics" ip="laanx.fragnetics.com" port="7333" />
<server name="localhost" ip="localhost" port="13331" />
</serverlist>
to the following entry:
<serverlist>
<server name="Fragnetics" ip="laanx.fragnetics.com" port="7777" />
</serverlist>
since the current port on laanx is 7777 and only developer need a server on localhost.
Now you can enjoy playing.
Another tip:
If you forgot you password, just copy the old password hash from your old <planeshift>/planeshift.cfg to your new installation.
The lines you need to copy/replace are:
planeshift.cfg:
----------------------
Planeshift.Connection.Fragnetics.User = my.email@address.com
Planeshift.Connection.Fragnetics.Password = 6487164816486486126386979797...
That's it! Have fun!
Btw: when you wanna check whether the server is up check server status at
http://laanx.fragnetics.com/main.php ("total online" > 0)
you can log in even when nmap returns that port 7777 is closed:
------------------------
$ nmap laanx.fragnetics.com
