Web Server 4 Web Server Upgrade Instructions

Use these instructions to install the web components of MarketingPilot 4.X.

1. Check the Web.Config File and Any Other Modifications Made to Files in the MarketingPilot Directory
If you named the MarketingPilot SQL Server database to a new name (i.e. you didn't name the database MarketingPilot), you must update the database name key in the new web.config file for R4.1:

  • Open the web.config file located in the Web Server directory with Microsoft Notepad, or any similar simple text editor.

  • Find the DatabaseName value and change it from MarketingPilot to the database name you specified.
  • Save the web.config file.

Separately, be sure to review any changes you made to files in the MarketingPilot Directory such as html changes, style sheet changes, custom headers and footers, custom reports, etc. be sure to make a copy of these changes so that you can re-implement them in Web Server 4.

  • Open the Site folder.
  • Display the Alerts page.
  • Click on the Uninstall Alert Processor button.
