Install Updated
Web Files
and Upgrade existing Data
- Version
11 includes changes to the Root web.config
Because this file also holds your custom
database connection string, you must first enter
your database connection into the web.config
file before copying the updated files. If
you don't your database connection will break
after the upgrade. Also, if you added any
custom tags to the web.config they should also
be transferred. To do so...
Open the web.config for your EXISTING
installation of eNewsletter Pro. Find this line
and copy the portion shown in GREEN:
<add key="DBConnectionString" value="server=(LOCAL);UID=youruserid;PWD=yourpass;DATABASE=eNewsletterPro"
/>
Now, open the web.config found in the "eNewsletterPro"
folder of the upgrade files. Replace the
sample connection string with your full
connection string.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DBConnectionString" connectionString="server=(LOCAL);UID=youruserid;PWD=yourpass;DATABASE=eNewsletterPro"
/>
</connectionStrings>
Save the file.
- Before
copying files, delete the entire CuteSoft_Client
folder from the web site where eNewsletter Pro
is installed.
- Copy
the files and folders from the folder called "eNewsletterPro"
to the web folder where
eNewsletter Pro is installed.
Typically this is
http://www.yourdomain.com/enewsletterpro/.
Replace any existing files if prompted.
Be sure to include all folders and subfolders
such as Admin, Bin, Images, User etc.
