- Upgrading from V.5 (1.0?) of MUBBS:
-
- Save the archived V1.1.2 just incase something gets screwed up here...
-
- START WITH V1.1.2 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, ONLY 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 take 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)
- USE THE NEW DISCUSSIONS MODULES THAT ARE SUPPLIED WITH THIS VERSION!
-
- 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. You need the program "Userlist Updater", get it from a support
- BBS or AOL. Follow it's instructions so that you can use your old
- userlist with this version.
-
- 11. Did I miss anything here? Let me know in the "MUBBS" discussions
- area on the support BBS.
