*** Here are some important file name changes in PageGate ***
File Name Changes: (since version 1.4)
PageGate's main database file has been changed from pgedb.mdb to
pagegate.mdb. It usually resides in the PageGate program directory.
The mailbox format file (.mbf) used with the Mdaemon mail server has been
changed from notepage.mbf to pagegate.mbf. It resides in the \mdaemon\app
directory
The web interface's cgi program's name has changed from web2mail.exe to
webgate.exe. It may reside in the \inetpub\cgi-bin directory or any other
directory you setup.
All of the above should be handled automaticaly by PageGate upgrade routine. Please let me know if you have a problem with this.
NotePager Net's executeable file has changed from NotePagerNet.exe to
NPNet.exe.
The new sendpage program for the commandline/ascii interface is
sendpage.exe. It's syntax is displayed if it is run without any commandline
options.
Anyone that is updating the database directly should be sure to take notice
of the name change. In addition PageGate now uses Microsoft's latest
database engine (the files are part of the download and automatically
installed). This may be a problem if you application is written to use an
older version of MS Access.
Upgrade Information:
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of PageGate, please use the
following procedure:
1) Make a full backup of your installation!!!
2) Uninstall the old version of PageGate by using the 'Add/Remove Programs'
option in the Windows control panel. This will uninstall the program
files, but will leave the data files intact.
3) Install PageGate Version 2 using the instructions above. Be sure to
specify the same installation directory for version 2 that was used by
the earlier version of PageGate.
4) Run pgadmin.exe (PageGate's Admin program) from PageGate's program
directory. This will upgrade PageGate's database file without starting
the other modules.
5) Quit out of PageGate and then start it as usual.
