Then test everything in the new folder before eventually replacing the old folder with the new one.If you're moving from a pre-encrypt version, the first thing you should do after copying your files manually to the new folder is to launch your browser and access the main admin page in the new folder, there's a special template in there that will encrypt your passwords for you. Make sure to read the Read Me file too, it generally has critical information in it about this and other things you will need to understand about the new version. Then make sure to review the new .pdf file and the new HTML docs as well, especially the parts about the new features ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
