Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX: Difference between revisions

#I downloaded the CumulusMXDist3069 zip from the Current Release section on the downloads page. Although 3069 is no longer the latest distribution, still use the same link as it will always give you latest available.

# I unzipped the contents into a partition I use just for software downloads.

#* You don't have to have somewhere separate to the installation, but many people will want to download on a separate device to the device where they will install MX

#* Downloading to somewhere other than where you will install it, also makes it easier if you do any customisation of particular files and wish to keep copies of originals.

# I used a package (no external software tools named here) that verifies the files it copies to duplicate the folder CumuluxMX within the zip onto the drive where I wanted to run Cumulus MX.

# As I was not intending to use the web pages that come with MX, so I selected to exclude in this verified copying everything from the "\CumulusMX\webfiles\*.*" folder, and its sub-folders in the download.

#* If you intend to use the standard MX web pages, then you will need to:

#** Ensure you do copy these files from download into where you are installing MX.

#** You will also need to FTP all files and sub-folders within the webfiles folder (not the actual folder itself), to whatever folder on your web server you specify as the directory in the Web/FTP site part of the settings for MX.
