UPGRADING AN EXISTING CITADEL/UX INSTALLATION --------------------------------------------- The process by which you will upgrade an older version of Citadel/UX to the current one depends on which version you have installed. Version 1.xx, 2.xx, or 3.xx --------------------------- Upgrading from these versions is no longer supported. Sorry. Version 4.xx, 5.0x, or 5.1x --------------------------- Obtain the "export5" utility from any FTP site which carries Citadel. This package contains instructions on how to 'export' your old databases, and then 'import' them into Citadel/UX 5.54. NOTE: if you have any of these versions installed, you must first upgrade to Citadel/UX v5.54, and then upgrade from 5.54 to the latest version. The file formats for 5.60 have changed drastically, and it is unfeasible to build a one-step migration path. Version 5.5x or 5.6x -------------------- Upgrading from 5.[56]x to 5.60 is easy. Unpack the source and run the configure script using "--with-prefix=/your/citadel/directory" just like you had done for the previous version. After the compile is finished, shut down the running copy of citserver and do a "make install-exec". This command installs the new programs without overwriting any of your data files, system banners, or anything else. ALL VERSIONS ------------ After you upgrade, you MUST run "setup" before starting citserver! If you do not do so, the server will notice the older version stamp on your data files and refuse to run. Run setup, then start citserver.
