[Xitami] Converting to the service version of Xitami in Win2K

[Stefan Pantazi]

Hi,


> #1. Do I have to uninstall the current version of Xitami that I have?
Yes. Unfortunately the service version does not coexists with the
non-service version and although you can chose to install them in separate
folders, the registry keys get overwritten. Before you uninstall, make an
image of the whole xitami folder.

> #2. Can I install it to the same directory as the current install
> of Xitami?
Yes, providing you backed up all config files. Xitami offers a backup
process when it installs but I think it is better that you make an image of
your website in some separate location, just in case.

In theory yes. There's no easy way assert this. You may have to visually
compare the new config files with the old ones. Also making a copy of the
new config files, just before you overwrite them with your old may help in
spotting differences.

Yes, I am using it constantly.

You may experience problems with log rotation, other than this, I don't
know, maybe no more crashes? :)

Just make sure you back up everything before.

you're Welcome.
