HowTo
You should download the CommuniGate Pro software either from the Stalker Web/FTP site, or from any authorized mirror site. Make sure you have the latest version of the software, and that the downloaded version is designed to work on the selected platform.

Install the Server following the instructions below, and then proceed with Initial Configuration.


Installation

On all systems, the CommuniGate Pro uses 2 directories (folders):


Installing on a MS Windows NT/9x System

You can also start the CommuniGate Pro server manually, as a "console application", by launching the CGServer.exe file. If started without parameters, the Server creates the C:\CommuniGatePro folder and uses it as its "base" folder". If you want to use any other location, use the --Base command line parameter:
CGServer.exe --Base D:\OtherDirectory


Installing on a Sun Solaris System.


Installing on a MacOS X Server (Rhapsody) System.


Installing on a Linux System.


Installing on a FreeBSD System.


Installing on a BSDI BSD/OS System.

Initial Configuration


Upgrading to a Newer Version

When you upgrade to a new version, the files in the application directory are substituted with the new files.

The base directory and all its files are not modified when you update the CommuniGate Pro Server software, so all accounts, mailboxes, messages, settings, Personal Web Sites, customized WebUser and WebAdmin files stay and continue to work with the new version of the Server.

Note: if you chose to manually modify WebUser and/or WebAdmin files right in the application directory, then you should save them before updating. If you properly placed your customized versions of WebUser and/or WebAdmin files into the Domain Webuser/WebAdmin directories, these customized files are not removed when you upgrade the Server software.
