Upgrade information for 0.05g1
==============================
This upgrade manual is only meant for users upgrading from an existing
EleBBS/tcRA32/RA installation, please read INSTALL.TXT for instructions
how to install a fresh copy of EleBBS.
Step:
1). Make a complete backup of your existing configuration.
2). Unpack the BIN.ZIP into your existing directory (eg: C:\ELE\)
3). If you previously used EleNEWS, please first send all messages to the
host that still needs to be sent. Then delete the whole area, to make
sure EleNEWS won't get confused. Then make sure that you setup the
newsgroups in ELCONFIG. You can do this by running ELCONFIG > MANAGER >
Message areas, and then selecting an area. At the bottom right corner
of the screen you see a new item called "Newsgroups". Please specify
the groupname in here as well.
If you are upgrading from EleBBS v0.04.g1 you can skip this step 3 and go
to step 4 directly.
3). Please run ELCONFIG and edit all your language prompts manually to add the
language entries #673 - #682. You can simply use the default entries for
these prompts.
4). Please update language entry #603 to support the (Skip) command. You can
use the default entry as a reference. (ALT-D to copy the default).
5). Change language entries 678 and 679 to the default settings.
6). Please run ELCONFIG, go to System and Paths and then enter an
Utility logfile. All EleBBS utilities (EleUSER, EleFILE, TELSRV and such)
will use this logfile instead of the standard BBS logfile.
7). Please run ELCONFIG again and go via Manager to Message areas. You can
exit directly again if you do not wish to setup newsgroups for NEWSSRV.
By following these steps your upgrade to EleBBS v0.05.g1 should go as smooth
as possible!
Yours Sincerely,
Maarten Bekers.
