Pre-Installation Notes
- Verify that you are
currently using Version 5.
- 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.
- Version 9 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.
- Verify that your
web site or virtual directory is running .NET 2.0 and not 1.1.
Installation Instructions
- Extract the upgrade files contained in
banmanproSQL10UpgradeFrom5.zip
to a temporary location on your local computer. You will now see
several folders including RootDirectory, Admin, Images, Advertiser,
and Bin.
- From within SQL Query Analyzer,
execute the script called banmanproSQL10upgradeFrom5.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
banmanproSQL10upgradeFrom5.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.
- 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.
- Copy the files in the Images
directory to the images directory. This will most likely be... http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro/images.
- Copy the entire Admin, Advertiser, Bin
and Language folders into the folder where Ban Man Pro is installed. Be sure to
include all subdirectories.
- Open the application in your
browser (http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro/admin/default.aspx).
Login using your old username and the password of "Admin1".
- Once logged in, click Setup.
Reset the password. Now update the setup.
- 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.
