From time to time Structured Solutions may release updates to Shipper Service.  All updates will be packaged as complete installs. Therefore the installation procedure for updates is very similar to the procedure for new installs.

Update Instructions

1. Save the installation package on your computer.
2. Run the program to extract the files to a folder on your computer.
3. Open the folder that was created on your computer. You will find 2 folders inside: bin and services.
4. Copy the files from the bin folder on your computer to the bin folder of your web site. Replace all files with the same name.

   Web sites with a shared SSL certificate often have two bin folders: one for accessing the site with the HTTP protocol and one for accessing the site with the HTTPS protocol (often called SSL). If your site has two bin folders and you are unsure which one Shipper Service is using, copy the new files to both bin folders on your web site.

   ASP.NET may get "confused" if someone is accessing your site at the same time that you are copying files to the bin folder. If this happens you will see a server error when you try to access some pages on your site. To fix it, make a trivial change (such as adding a space to the end of a line) to the web.config file in the root directory of your site. This will force ASP.NET to reload all the files from the bin folder and correct the error.

5. Copy the files from the services folder on your computer to the services folder on your web site where you installed the previous version. Your existing configuration (list of authorized users, etc.) will not be overwritten.
