APEX

I support an Apex 2.0 application and I have encountered a strange installation problem. I have to visit my clients site to perform the application upgrade, I can upload the application into the repository but when I attempt the install it the process doesn't complete, the installation appears to have been spawned off to the database server and appears to have installed correctly but a currently anonymous gateway/proxy server steps in and reports that the connection has been lost. I suspect that the gateway server is set to timeout if no communication has been received within 4 to 5 minutes although the installation continues after that timeout.

Can I assume that the installation has completed fully successfully? What can I do to ensure the installation has completed correctly (apart from the obvious action of getting the gateway server to not timeout too soon)?

Thanks

PS we are planning to upgrade from 2.0 soon.
