*** Here are some important file name changes
in PageGate ***
File Name Changes: (since version 1.4)
PageGate's main database file has been changed from
pgedb.mdb to pagegate.mdb. It usually resides in the
PageGate program directory.
The mailbox format file (.mbf) used with the Mdaemon
mail server has been changed from notepage.mbf to pagegate.mbf.
It resides in the \mdaemon\app directory
The web interface's cgi program's name has changed from
web2mail.exe to webgate.exe.
It may reside in the \inetpub\cgi-bin directory or any
other directory you setup.
All of the above should be handled automatically by
PageGate upgrade routine. NotePager Net's executable
file has changed from NotePagerNet.exe to NPNet.exe.
The new sendpage program for the commandline/ascii interface
is sendpage.exe.
Its syntax is displayed if it is run without any commandline
options.
Anyone that is updating the database directly should
be sure to take notice of the name change.
In addition PageGate now uses Microsoft's latest database
engine (the files are part of the download and automatically
installed). This may be a problem if you application
is written to use an older version of MS Access.
Upgrade Information: If you are upgrading from
an earlier version of PageGate, please use the following
procedure:
1) Make a full backup of your installation!!!
2) Uninstall the old version of PageGate by using
the 'Add/Remove Programs' option in the Windows control
panel. This will uninstall the program files, but will
leave the data files intact."
3) Install PageGate Version 2 using the instructions
above. Be sure to specify the same installation directory
for version 2 that was used by the earlier version of
PageGate.
4) Run pgadmin.exe (PageGate's Admin program)
from PageGate's program directory. This will upgrade
PageGate's database file without starting the other
modules.
5) Quit out of PageGate and then start it as
usual.
