Web Server Settings During Upgrades

Vandulus · Post by **Vandulus** » Tue Apr 04, 2006 3:41 pm

After installing an upgrade, I always have to reset my web server path and URL. All of the other screens in the wizard seem to load my previous configuration. Is there any way you can have the startup wizard pull these two settings ?

I have the same problems as Vandulus. After installing the upgrade and going through the "wizard" that comes up when starting the new version for the first time, Webuilder remembers all of the options except for the web server path and the location of the web documents. Also, regardless of which interface style I select during this "initialization" process, it doesn't remember which panels I have set to open on the left side of the editor and I have to go through and manually reset them. This has been going on now for several version upgrades. The terms I am using above may not be exactly correct (I can't remember them right now), but I hope this is relatively clear.

To clarify, I believe it's the fifth or so screen in the "first run" wizard. The path to the web server and its URL (aka used for mappings) resets to c:\htdocs and http:\\localhost intead of pulling these settings when upgrading. Every other screen of this wizard does pull my previous settings. It's nothing major, but annoying nevertheless.

That's why you should use settings import utility after installing the new version as described here:

This is not an issue of upgrading from 2005 to 2006.

This issue involves updating the v2006. ie.. from 7.01 to 7.1.

After installing, it walks you through the setup wizard. It defaults to all the settings you had configured, EXCEPT for the web settings described above. It always reverts back to c:\htdocs, etc...

If you are upgrading between minor versions, just hit Cancel.

Yes, I was referring to upgrading 7.x versions. I always thought if you dismissed the wizard it would just reappear the next time I reopened WeBuilder. Thanks for the info!
