online banking setup lost - any way to recover it?

[Steve Kelem]

It looks like .banking hasn't been used since 2008.
.aqbanking looks like:

So, the settings/accounts haven't changed since Oct 6, so I'm concerned about deleting .aqbanking and keeping .banking.

Thanks to your email, I now know about aqbanking-cli. I ran "aqbanking-cli listaccs" and got:
3:2011/12/06 15-52-54:gwen(13786):plugin.c:  365: Plugin "aqofxconnect" not found.
4:2011/12/06 15-52-54:aqbanking(13786):banking_cfg.c:  532: Provider "aqofxconnect" not found, ignoring user [73410]

I then installed libofx, but aqbanking-cli gives the same error messages.
Here are the versions that I have:
% rpm -qa | egrep '(ofx|aqb|gwen|gnucash)' | sort
aqbanking-5.0.2-3.fc15.x86_64
aqbanking-devel-5.0.2-3.fc15.x86_64

gwenhywfar-devel-4.0.5-1.fc15.x86_64
gwenhywfar-gui-gtk2-4.0.5-1.fc15.x86_64
gwenhywfar-gui-qt4-4.0.5-1.fc15.x86_64

libofx-devel-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64

(I tried compiling a newer version of aqbanking, but, as I reported to you on 10/7, I cannot get it to compile, and have received any help in getting it to compile.)

I tried what you suggested:
% 'rm' -rf .aqbanking
% aqbanking-cli updateconf
Config for AqBanking 4 not found, update needed (-55)
Config for AqBanking 3 not found (-51)
Config for AqBanking 2 not found (-56), no usable configuration found to update.


Thanks for any help you can give,
Steve
