Upgrading within version 2
Client upgrade
Client upgrade is usually a matter of replacing the client .jar archive
RealChat.jar
. If you downloaded a client upgrade from our site, simply overwrite the old one. If you are using FTP to upload files, be sure to use BINARY transfer mode. You may have to restart your browser in order the changes to take effect.
Server upgrade
Server upgrade is usually a matter of replacing all the .class files in the
/rcs/server
subdirectory of the directory where you initially installed RealChat Server (e.g./usr/local/rcserver/rcs/server/
orC:\Program Files\RealChat Server\server\
). If you downloaded a server upgrade archive from our site, simply exctract it and overwrite the old .class files. If you are using FTP to upload files, be sure to use BINARY transfer mode. You must to restart RealChat Server in order the changes to take effect.
Note: The client and server versions and your registration key appear on the 'About' tab of the RealChat Client appletUpgrading from versions 1.x.x
During the four years of development RealChat 1.x.x has gone through a big number of bug fixes and patches. In our continuous efforts to improve the software, we felt that it is time to move it to the next stage.
RealChat Version 2 is not just an upgrade, in fact it's a brand new software, rewritten 'from-scratch'. It has lots of improvements and new features, and is much more stable and easy to use as well.
Due to the above, there is no convenient way for us to provide automatic upgrade. Users of RealChat versions 1.x.x, are required to completely uninstall the old version ( including any crontab fragments and /etc/init.d/ entries ), and do a fresh install of RealChat Version 2.
Note for registered users: 1.x.x registration keys won't work with the new release. Registered users of versions 1.x.x will be given a new registration key. Please contact us with your old registration key to receive the new one.
