Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong each time I try to upgrade Synchronet to the latest version it changes all my setting and takes away the number of nodes I am running amoung other things and then I have to restore my backup. I think I'm following the instructions correctly but it never works and I have to bring back my backup.


Thanks in advance for any help with this

Sounds like you're overwriting some config files.

I think I'm following the instructions correctly but it
never works and I have to bring back my backup.

Which instructions?

Thanks in advance for any help with this

What OS are you running? What exactly are doing to upgrade?

What OS are you running? What exactly are doing to upgrade?

I'm running windows 7 professional. I download the upgrade from your bbs and I read through that to try and do this correctly. But I'm not doing something right because I am running 10 nodes and when I do the upgrade it takes away some of the nodes and all my configuration I had is gone and my nets are not there anymore.

Sounds like you're overwriting some config files.

That is what I am sure I have doen I'm just6 not sure what fioes I should not copy over into it.

What filename is "the upgrade" you're referring to?

Read through what?

I'm not clear what upgrade you're referring to, what files your downloading or what you're doing with them. Please be more specific.

I download the upgrade from your bbs and that's where I get the files for the upgrade. I'm doing something wrong but I'm not sure what exactly what6 parts I should not use so I can keep my current stuff without overwriting it.

Which upgrade?

I was going to get on your bbs to get the file information and name but your system is down I am not able to connect to it.

Let's start with: what file are you downloading and what are you doing with it?

I will get you that information as soon as I can get on your bbs to download it again.

I run a few servers. If vert.synchro.net isn't answering (as sometimes happens), go to cvs.synchro.net or bbs.synchro.net instead.

You don't still have the file? How will you know which of the many "upgrade" files on Vertrauen you download before?
