Upgrading from Free Version

Post by **Thunderstone** » Mon Jul 17, 2000 10:43 am

We have the free version of Webinator, and we like it alot.

My question is...We are planning to purchase the commercial version that
will allow us to do larger indexes. Are there any procedures for this sort
of upgrade.

Also, the new version will be on a new server. Are there any special
considerations for migrating the old data to the new server (e.g., what
files do I need to copy, should I do it after installation on the new box,
etc.)

Thanks for your help,

The scripts and databases are compatible between the free and commercial
versions of Webinator. Since you are moving to a new server it is probably
easiest to start by installing the new version on the new server, and then
copying any scripts you have modified. You could choose whether you wanted
to start the crawl again which is probably easiest, or copy over the database
and fire gw up to keep crawling.
