Re: [IMail Forum] 5.06 patch upgrade

[David Gregg]

Due to the problem encountered with trying to replace DLLs (smtpsec) that are still loaded even though the service has been stopped, I use the following without a problem:   1) using imail administrator, create a registry backup file. 2) change all imail services start-up from automatic to manual. 3) reboot machine. 4) verify no imail services have started. 5) copy c:\imail folder to c:\_imail. 6) install imail, select upgrade option. 7) configure imail via control panel applet. 8) configure web messaging via the start/prgrams/imail/web messaging option. 9) selected services will now be running. 10) test the system by sending and receiving mail. 11) test the web messaging at :8383 12) check the services and make sure the smtp and pop services are set to automatic.  Others are fine - but smtp and pop at a minimum.   -----Original Message----- From: ## Dusty Carden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, September 03, 1999 8:38 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] 5.06 patch upgrade I would stop all Imail services.  Make a backup of the /Imail folder.  (Not the users folders, just the root).  Backup the Imail registry, then run the patch.  Make sure Control Panel is not open when you are running the patch.  Reboot after the upgrade.   If all is okay, you can scrap the backups.   Dusty ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Taylor To: Imail Forum Sent: Friday, September 03, 1999 10:01 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] 5.06 patch upgrade I'm going to install the Imail 5.06 upgrade patch, is there anything I should do be I install this, ie, backup imail, shutdown which services etc?   Many Thanks   Stephen Taylor Network Administrator Langside College 50 Prospecthill Road Glasgow G42 9LB Tele :- 0141 649 4991
