upgrading to newer version of MX ?

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

upgrading to newer version of MX ?

Post by WetCoast »

first off, sorry if this topic has already been covered, I looked but could not find anything appropriate.

I see that there is a new version of MX 3031 which I downloaded and unzipped into it's own directory. Obviously it does not have my specific config... so the question is, what specific procedure do I need to do or files do I need to copy from my old version of MX to the new version? I could probably figure it out but I don't want to copy to few or too many files.

Thanks in advance,
Gord

In build 3031 Steve specifically stated that
The following files have changed since build 3030:

CumulusMX.exe
CumulusMX.pdb
So that is what I would do.

If he doesn't mention which files have changed I always copy all the files in the CUMULUSMX directory to the running directory and then check if any files in the INTERFACE directory have changed (I have altered the standard interface) and copy those in as well. Since my web site is PHP based I do not bother with any files in WEBFILES but if you are just using the standard website there should be no harm in copying that to your web site.

I'm going to try to remember to specify which files have changed from now on, so that those who wish to do so can just copy those files.
