General update information

General information concerning NospamProxy updates

Whenever you install an update of NoSpamProxy, you need to consider the following points, regardless of whether it is an update within a version or a larger version jump.

Proxy settings

The proxy settings are done in a configuration file. In the How Tos category you will find the article How to configure a web proxy for NoSpamProxy Version 9.2 or higher with the exact procedure. Unfortunately these settings are overwritten with each update and must be carried out again afterwards. Therefore, copy the corresponding configuration files into a backup directory in advance in order to be able to use them again afterwards.

IMPORTANT: For updates within e.g. 10.1 or 10.0 the files can be used 1:1. For updates from 9.x to 10.x, the changes must be made on the basis of the new files. Please refer to the above mentioned article.

Template adaptations

If you update from NoSpamProxy 10.x or earlier to a newer version, you still have to save the template files of NoSpamProxy manually. The articles on customising the Web Portal theme and the notification theme describe how to customise each file. These are overwritten for version 10.x with each update and must be saved in advance. After the update, copy the files back to the original directory. With version 11.x a template designer is integrated in NoSpamProxy. From this point on, this step is no longer necessary, unless you have adapted the texts in the templates.

Please note: For updates within e.g. 10.1 or 10.0 the files can be used 1:1. For updates from 9.x to 10.x, the changes must be made on the basis of the new files. Please refer to the above mentioned articles.

Web Portal

If the Web Portal was installed on a server without the Gateway Role, the configuration link https://<server-url>/enqsig/admin/configurecyren must be called again after the update. The NoSpamProxy CYREN Service service must then be restarted on the Web Portal.
