Installation Procedures

If you are upgrading from ListSTAR 1.0 please read about the Scripts You Must Alter as a result of an added Apple Event in ListSTAR 1.1.

If you are upgrading from ListSTAR 1.0 we recommend that you backup certain files. The backup is necessary in case you need to "downgrade." Preference files are altered when updating from a version prior to 1.1 because of the change from Aliases to FSSpecs for how rules find files. You cannot use a 1.1 prefs file with a version prior to 1.1 thus you need to backup the "old" version in case there is a need to downgrade.
Backup the following files:

• Main Prefs file (found in the ADMIN folder) named "ListSTAR Prefs"
  
• Each Services Prefs File (found in each individual Service's folder).

You may also want to save the following files by hand before performing the installation, although these files can also be installed from a previous installation archive.

• "ListSTAR Server" application found in the first level of the ListSTAR folder.
  
• "ListSTAR Resources" file found in the ADMIN folder
  
• "Rule Resources" file found in the ADMIN folder
  
• For ListSTAR/SMTP installations the "SMTP for ListSTAR" file found in the ADMIN folder.
  
• For ListSTAR/POP installations the "PMM for ListSTAR" file found in the ADMIN folder.

Installing

We recommend that you boot with extensions off before installing or upgrading to ListSTAR 1.1.
You can use the Installer program to install ListSTAR 1.1 over your previous ListSTAR version. The QuickMail and Quarterdeck Mail versions of the product have been discontinued. Please contact sales@starnine.com to find out how to exchange your ListSTAR/QM or ListSTAR/MS to ListSTAR/POP or ListSTAR/SMTP.

Note the installer will look for the ListSTAR folder in the first level of the selected harddrive. If you have moved the ListSTAR folder into a sub folder you must install the ListSTAR 1.1 in the first level of your hard drive. After installation, copy the following files from the 1.1 folder to the "older" ListSTAR folder.

• "ListSTAR Server" application found in the first level of the ListSTAR folder.
  
• "ListSTAR Resources" file found in the ADMIN folder
  
• "Rule Resources" file found in the ADMIN folder
  
• For ListSTAR/SMTP installations the "SMTP for ListSTAR" file found in the ADMIN folder.
  
• For ListSTAR/POP installations the "PMM for ListSTAR" file found in the ADMIN folder.

If you are upgrading from ListSTAR 1.0 to ListSTAR 1.1, ListSTAR will take a longer period of time to lauch the first time it is launched. The reason is that ListSTAR 1.1 will be converting FSSpecs to Aliases.

Downgrading

If for some reason you need to bring your ListSTAR server from 1.1 to either 1.0 you need to follow the following instructions.
CAUTION: If you downgrade your server, any changes made to rules and address lists will be lost AND downgraded timer rules will operate as if they haven't been executed since the original backup file was created.

From your backup files replace the following:

• Main Prefs file (found in the ADMIN folder)
  
• Each Services Prefs File (found in each individual Service's folder).

• "ListSTAR Server" application found in the first level of the ListSTAR folder.
  
• "ListSTAR Resources" file found in the ADMIN folder.
  
• "Rule Resources" file found in the ADMIN folder.
  
• For ListSTAR/SMTP installations the "SMTP for ListSTAR" file found in the ADMIN folder.
  
• For ListSTAR/POP installations the "PMM for ListSTAR" file found in the ADMIN folder.
