HAP+ Upgrade

[Bankesy]

Hello

 

I was looking into updating our version of HAP+ as we have a new website and thought a new version would look more modern alongside it.

 

So I downloaded HAP+ V10 and extracted all the files then simply copied all of them apart from App Data into the HAP+ location but this did not work.

 

Is it more complicated than this? I don't know a lot about it as I didn't set it up originally.

 

I took a backup of the original files and folders and have put them back so the old version is still working for now.

 

Thank you

You may need to restore the web.config file

As in take the web.config file I made a backup of and copy it back having updated all the files for version 10?

 

Will this affect any of the configuration settings?

It shoudn't do

Having copied the new HAP files to the right location but leaving the App Data folder alone annd copied back the original web.config file i was given this error message:

Ok, looks like it can't do something with the upgrade process. You will need to backup and rename hapConfig.xml and try again. Use a new config file to set the basics then copy sections from the old config to restore functionality

Hello again

 

I think I'm making this whole upgrade more complicated than it needs to be

 

Earlier in the week I renamed hapconfig.xml in the existing AppData folder then copied all the files for version 10 over (apart from AppData), this looked promising as when I followed our existing HAP link it presented me with a setup page and created a new blank hapconfig.xml in AppData.

 

So I left it there and copied everything back to its original working state thinking I would return another day and do the same only first I would login and open the existing HAP+ Config interface on a laptop so I could see all the existing settings on the form then go through the process described above on a PC, be presented with the new blank form and fill it in.

 

However I've gone to do this and instead of now getting the new HAP+ config options I get an access denied error for hapconfig.xml.

 

It did cross my mind that maybe I was trying to jump too many versions from 7.9 to 10 but I tried just going to 7.10 and it still didn't work.

 

So I've resolved that I should just set it all up again from scratch but can't find written or video instructions for V10, can you point me in the right direction please?
