Transana-MU Message Server 2.20 Upgrade Guide

The first step is to remove the old Message Server. Then you download and install the new Message Server.

On Windows:

• Navigate to the Transana Message Server program folder, probably C:\Program Files\TransanaMessageServer.
  
  
• Double-click the file "unins000.exe". This will uninstall the earlier Transana Message Server version. You will be required to reboot.
  
  
• After the reboot, you may need to manually remove (delete) the TransanaMessageServer program folder and its contents.
  
  
• Now download the file "TransanaMessageServer220Win.zip" from the multi-user post-purchase download page.
  
  
• Unzip the downloaded file. Then double-click "TransanaMessageServer220Win.exe" to run the installer.
  
  
• Follow the instructions in the installer. Make sure you start the service and that it's set to start automatically.
  

On Mac OS

• Remove the "TransanaMessageServer" folder from "Applications".
  
  
• Download "TransanaMessageServer220Mac.dmg" from the multi-user post-purchase download page.
  
  
• Install the TransanaMessageServer220Mac package.
  
  
• If you are upgrading from Message Server 2.00, use a Terminal Window and the "su" command to copy "/Applications/TransanaMessageServer/StartupItems/*" to "/Library/StartupItems/TransanaMessageServer" to update the startup files. Enter the following (single line) command:

  cp /Applications/TransanaMessageServer/StartupItems/* /Library/StartupItems/TransanaMessageServer
  

• Reboot your computer.

On Linux:

• In your "usr/local/TransanaMessageServer" folder, delete the existing "TransanaMessageServer*.py" file.
  
  
• Download "TransanaMessageServer220Linux.zip" from the multi-user post-purchase download page.
  
  
• Unzip the file, placing "TransanaMessageServer.py" in your "usr/local/TransanaMessageServer" folder.
  
  
• Make the file executable, either using the Terminal Window or by changing the permissions through the GUI File Manager.
  
  
• If you are upgrading from Message Server 2.00, made the Message Server start automatically, you will need to edit the "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" file, changing the TransanaMessageServer line from "TransanaMessageServer200.py" to "TransanaMessageServer.py". This is not necessary if you are upgrading from Message Server 2.12.
  
  
• Reboot your computer. This stops the old Message Server and, if you set it up to do so, starts the new one.
