6 To install Citadel for Windows, run the citadel-X.XX.exe file. It is
7 recommended that you do not change the installation folder. Unlike the
8 Unix version, you do NOT need to run Citadel's setup utility before
9 starting the server. However, the system operator will be set to the
10 first user who creates an account on the server, so you need to login
13 Setup will fail if the Citadel server is running when you install/upgrade.
14 You will need to login to your Citadel server and issue the <.A>ide
15 <T>erminate <N>ow command to stop the server before upgrading Citadel.
16 This will be fixed in a future release.
18 At the present time you must restart your computer to start the Citadel
19 server. This will be fixed in a future release.
23 To remove Citadel for Windows, go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove
24 Programs, click Citadel, then click Add/Remove (or Change/Remove). Your
25 server data (users, messages, etc.) will NOT be removed. To remove these
26 files, delete the C:\Program Files\Citadel\data directory.
28 Known Issues in Citadel for Windows:
30 * Calendaring support is not included. Status: TO_BE_FIXED
32 * Citadel may not run properly if the installation directory is changed from
33 C:\Program Files\Citadel. It is strongly recommended that you do not
34 change the installation directory. Status: TO_BE_FIXED
36 * The "weekly" maintenance script does not run. Since it is a Unix script,
37 there is no way to run it in Windows. The main effect you will see is that
38 no server objects expire. If you wish you can expire them manually. To do
39 this, enter the following server commands (using the @ key in the text
40 client or the appropriate advanced command in WebCit): Status: TO_BE_FIXED
48 * Sessions can be disconnected if you read the citadel-debug.txt using a
49 Cygwin program while the server is running. In addition, the file is
50 written in Unix text format. To view this file, use a Windows editor
51 which understands Unix text files, such as WordPad. (Notepad won't work.)
