NewsPro : Upgrading NewsPro

Click here to download the latest version of NewsPro, 3.8 (in ZIP format).


After downloading the NewsPro ZIP file, follow the instructions below.

Upload only these files to your server: 

- newspro.cgi
- viewnews.cgi
- nplib.pl
- nplang.pl
- .htaccess
Only upload .htaccess if there is not already a file with that name. Do not upload any other files. Overwriting some of your current files - notably newsdat.txt, npconfig.dat, ndisplay.pl, and npconfig.pl - will cause loss of data.

After uploading new files, rename npconfig.dat (which should already be in your NewsPro directory) to nsettings.cgi (there is no need to CHMOD the file).

After files have been uploaded and the new version is working, look at this FAQ page, which provides important security information.
