Upgrade from version 1 to version 2
I have verison 1 running nicely (thanks guys!) at fsbench.bw.ml.org (click on the Report System link, running under Win95 and Xitami server).

I like the features of v2.04, and want to upgrade if I don't need too much reformatting. I tried figuring out for myself what I need to change, so correct me if I'm wrong, I think I need to change db.cg, config and auth files, but I can still use my html.pl file. Is this correct? Is it possible to keep using my current config file, and if not, can I still use all my field options by copying them straight over to the new config file?

Thanks again for such a great script!

Hi,

Unfortunately it's a big change going from 1.x to 2.x. The config file has changed significantly, and you will probably have to reenter most of the information. Also the html.pl has changed as the script no longer uses the db.cgi/sesion_key syntax as it was not compatible with NT.

You pretty much have to reinstall and modify from scratch.

Sorry about that,

Alex
