Upgrading from V.5 (1.0?) of MUBBS:
Save the archived V1.1 just incase something gets screwed up here...
START WITH V1.1 FOLDER AS-IS AND REPLACE ONLY WHAT I TELL YOU!
DO NOT INSTALL ANY *OLD* MODULES! Duplicate the ones supplied here!
(IE: copy, paste & rename the discussions sections supplied here)
1. E-Mail may not be compatable, you should SAVE your old "E-Mail.data"
file incase someone writes you and says there was something important
in there. Just use the new "blank" files that came with V1.1.
2. The files section is compatable, just replace the "files" folder
with your old one. If you or a user UPLOADS a file, the "last20"
(list of the last 20 uploads) will be automaticly created. You
will get "error file not available" until someone uploads, it's not
a big deal. (if you want, you can just save the "blank" last20 file
from the archive and place it in the "files" folder).
NOTE: You can now have a "description" printed before a directory
list. Just put a file called "dirdes.txt" in the directory's
folder. (if it's not there, the system prints nothing)
3. The userlist is compatable, replace it.
4. Discussions is compatable, replace the folder. Install your
"dismenu" files into the "menus" folder. (see note below)
5. Install your "menu" files into the "menus" folder.
NOTE: The old "menu1.txt" is now called "menu1.lang0" for
"language = 0", the ".ansi" files are now ".lang1".
SAME THING FOR DISCUSSIONS "MENU" FILES!
Rename your "discussions" and "menu" files accordingly.
6. BBS list is compatable, replace the folder.
7. Move YOUR "modems" file (in the "bbssupport" folder) and REPLACE
the "modems" file in V1.1 so that YOUR modem strings are now used. You
can also move these files into the "bbssupport" folder to update them:
bulletins.txt
newuser?.txt (all of the new user text files)
systemstartup.txt
8. If you are going to add modules, make sure they are compatable with
V1.1 ! Ask on the Support BBS if you don't know. DON'T ADD ANY "OLD"
MODULES! (you should duplicate and rename the ones supplied)
9. Use MUBBS Tools to set up the BBS.
10. Did I miss anything here? Let me know in the "MUBBS" discussions
area on the support BBS.
