It is recommended that you make a backup copy of your
Rex directory before upgrading, in case there are
problems.
If you are updating from version 0.95 you must
reinstall. 0.95 is no longer supported.
If you are updating from version 0.99 or less, you
should run rex -send to send any waiting mail, then
delete the contents of your queue directory. The
queue structure of versions 0.99 and up is incompatible
with previous versions.
Important! - For users of Internet Rex 1.16!
Before upgrading, check your email addresses. (Email
setup -> Configure email addresses.) If the data there
is corrupt, or if the config program crashes when you try
to do this, follow these steps *before* upgrading to 1.19.
- Move nodes.rex to a different directory.
- Run rexcfg. (It will ask to attempt to repair nodes.rex.
Choose yes.)
- At the main menu, hit escape. (The "Save changes" query
will come up.)
- Hit escape. (Back to the main menu.)
- Hit escape again. (Back to the "Save changes" menu.)
- Now choose Yes to save changes.
- Move nodes.rex back to the Rex directory.
- Run rexcfg again. (It will ask to attempt to repair
nodes.rex. Choose yes.)
- Quit again. Do *not* hit escape at the "Save changes"
query: choose Yes to save changes.
You can now upgrade to Rex 1.19.
To update your copy of Internet Rex to version 1.19,
unzip the contents of the distribution archive into
your Rex directory. Win95, WinNT and OS/2 users
should then open a DOS window, and change to the Rex
directory. Then run update.com. Follow any directions
it gives after the update. Linux users should run
./update and follow any directions given.
