Upgrading From a Previous Version of Rumpus
Follow the instructions below to upgrade an existing Rumpus installation to version 1.3. When you upgrade, all user accounts, messages and other preference settings will be preserved.
If you have downloaded a demo package to upgrade electronically, you will need to un-stuff the package first. You will also need either the Key file or the serial number and validation code that came with your original package (or was e-mailed to you) when you purchased Rumpus. If you purchased Rumpus before October 1, 1999, then you will have a key file on your original diskette. Packages shipped after this date include a serial number and validation code on the "Keep This Card!" registration card.
1. Open the folder on your server containing the Rumpus application.
2. Quit Rumpus, if it is running.
3. Copy the new Rumpus application from the diskette or download package into the folder with the previous version of Rumpus.
4. If you are installing from a demo package and have a Rumpus key file, drag and drop the key file onto the application to validate it. It will launch and display a message "Thank you, this copy of Rumpus is now validated". If you have a validation code, launch the new copy of Rumpus and choose "Validation..." from the file menu, then follow the instructions shown.
Don't forget to update the alias in the Startup Items folder if you have Rumpus launch automatically when the machine starts up!
Version 1.3.3 Update
The 1.3.3 release includes the newer validation mechanism, as well as a number of minor fixes and updates. The most noteworthy change is support for moving a file from one folder to another using the FTP "rename" command. This version also solves the "Can't Find InterfaceLib" startup error that a few users reported.
Version 1.3.2 Update
This version handles files uploaded with names longer than 31 characters much more gracefully than in the past. The filename is changed and truncated to an allowable number of characters on the Mac OS, then the actual name is stored in the resource fork of the file. For directory listings and file downloads, the full filename is shown or used to access the file. This change should make long filename support essentially transparent to external users on non-Mac OS systems.
Other minor bugs that have been corrected include a problem recognizing the actual "Disable Repeat Failures" option setting and an incorrect "out of disk space" error message.
Version 1.3.1 Update
This update corrects a crashing problem in version 1.3 that occurs when using the Web Administration interface with a large number of user accounts.
