>> Ban Man Pro 10 Upgrade from 2.1 for ASP.NET 2/SQL Server

Pre-Installation Notes

• Verify that you are currently using Version 2.1.  If unsure, look inside banmanfunc.asp or banman.asp for the version number.
• If you have made any modifications to the code they will be overwritten.  Version 10 is compiled and you no longer have access to the source code.
• Version 10 stores the administrator password in an encrypted format.  This upgrade will reset the password to Admin1.  As soon as the upgrade is performed, login to the administration console using your old username and a password of "Admin1" then reset the password in the setup area.
• Make a backup copy of the entire /banmanpro/ folder on your web server as well as the SQL database.  This upgrade will alter the database.
• If you are currently using SSI or the ASP Function call to serve ads, this upgrade will not work as the pages are now ASPX (ASP.NET) instead of traditional ASP.
• Verify that your web site or virtual directory is running .NET 2.0 and not 1.1.
  

Installation Instructions

1. Extract the upgrade files contained in banmanproSQL10upgradeFrom21.zip  to a temporary location on your local computer.  You will now see several folders including RootDirectory, Admin, Images, Advertiser, and Bin.
    
2. Obtain the following database connection properties found in db.asp
   Database Name
   Database User Name
   Database Password
   Data Source (IP or Server Name)
    
3. Set the database connection in the web.config file located in the RootDirectory folder.  The variable is called DBConnectionString.
   
   <add key="DBConnectionString" value="server=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;UID=BanManPro;PWD=yourpassword;DATABASE=BanManPro" />
   
   Server=The IP Address or physical server name of the SQL server
   UID=The Username you assigned to the database.  The default username is BanManPro
   PWD=The password you assigned to the database
   DATABASE=The name of the database.  The default is BanManPro
    
4. Make sure the folder holding Ban Man Pro is an application starting point.  If Ban Man Pro is installed in its own web site, then you need not worry about this.  Otherwise, please follow these instructions to make the folder an application starting point.
    
5. From within SQL Query Analyzer, execute the script called banmanproSQL10upgradeFrom21.sql on your existing Ban Man Pro database.  The database is now converted to the new format.  If you are unsure how to do this, please review Steps 5-7 of the original database instructions found at: support/SQLnewdb.asp and noting that in step 5 the SQL script is named banmanproSQL10upgradeFrom21.sql.
   
   Note: If you receive the error below it is not fatal and can be ignored...BMP_proc_ObtainBannerForKeywordCampaignAdvanced4, Line 27
   Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table 'Campaigns' because it is not full-text indexed.
    
6. Copy the files from the directory called "Root Directory" to the web server directory where Ban Man Pro is installed.  If you installed the software at http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro then that is where these files are to be copied.  You will be overwriting the existing files.  
    
7. Copy the file in the Images directory to the images directory.  This will most likely be... http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro/images.  
    
8. Copy the entire Admin, Advertiser, and Bin folders into the folder where Ban Man Pro is installed. Be sure to include all subdirectories.
    
9. Open the application in your browser (http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro/admin/default.aspx).   Note that the administration console is now located in a separate folder called /admin/
   Login using your old username and the password of "Admin1".
    
10. Once logged in, click Setup.  Reset the password.  Under Server Information change the Full Domain URL to point to the a.aspx file instead of banman.asp.  Enter the License Key provided when you purchased the upgrade.  Now update the setup.
    
     
11. Now you should update the ad tags on your web pages.  You can do this by searching/replacing banman.asp with ad.aspx.  Ban Man Pro will continue to operate if you don't do this, however, the performance may suffer because all calls to banman.asp are simply being redirected to ad.aspx which causes a performance degradation.  
    
    If you are using the sponsorship ad tags, replace any occurrence of sponsorship.asp with Sequence2.aspx.
     
12. If you are using the option to detect spiders.  Import the list of spiders and IP addresses.  To do this, open useragent.txt and copy and paste the list of browser headers.  Log into the Ban Man Pro admin console and click Setup.  Click Spider List (Headers).  Paste the list of headers into the text box and click "Add New Browser Header".  The headers are now added.  Repeat the same process for IP.txt in order to import the list of IP addresses to filter as spiders.
     
13. Click Setup and make sure the field called "Physical server path of BanManPro application" is set correctly.  This must be the physical file path to the location where BanManPro is installed.  This is used to find the Language Files.  If not set correctly the web interface will load more slowly.  Once set correctly, click Update Setup.
