throughits support life cycle, I would use 9.4 or 9.5 for maximum support longetivity. 9.1 is on its final release,

Oh I agree and I will likely do that as I take over this code but wanted to see if I could get the ‘old’ method to work
soI can unblock others until I can update the code.
I was thinking the same about using the 9.5. 9.2 is the current distribution with CentOS 7.2.
