Upgrading ListManager 5.0 or Higher
It is recommended that you back up your database before upgrading. For information on backing up MSDE, see Backing Up MSDE.
Upgrading without Moving ListManager
Be sure that ListManager is not running when you upgrade it.
When running the ListManager installer, select "upgrade" instead of "new install", and provide the installer with the path where ListManager is currently installed. The installer will automatically copy the data if necessary and upgrade the database.
For details on how to upgrade ListManager on Unix, see How to Upgrade ListManager by Hand.
Moving and Upgrading from 5.0 or Later
Be sure that ListManager is not running when you upgrade it.
1. Install ListManager on the new machine. Select "New Install".
2. When the installer requests the database information, you may provide the information for your earlier ListManager installation—but DO NOT have the installer create the tables for you—this will delete your database!
Alternatively, you may create a database or user just for the installation, and change which database ListManager uses by editing lmcfg.txt with a plain text editor. See Connecting to Your Database with lmcfg.txt for more information about editing this file.
3. Shut down ListManager if you started it after the installation.
4. To allow your database to be used with your new ListManager machine, you'll need to change the machine name in the Config_ table. To do so, run the following command on the command line:
lm configmove
5. To upgrade your database, open a command prompt. On the command line, type
lm dbupgrade
This process may take several hours, depending on how large your database is.
6. Make sure ListManager is listening to all IP addresses on the machine by running the following command from the command line:
lm tcpip
7. Start ListManager.
8. Go to Utilities: Administration: Sites, and edit any sites you have, so that the Internet Host Name field for each site is the name of your new ListManager machine.
You're done!
