updating 1.0.5 to v1.2

[Fabio(GNR)]

How to update? i have my old server with resources, ACL, config and all that stuff. How to update that server to 1.2?

I would rather not lose any settings.

Backup your server first.

You should manually update acl.xml and mtaserver.conf with new entries, which appeared in 1.1, 1.1.1 and 1.2.

Compare those files from here:

http://linux.multitheftauto.com/dl/105/baseconfig.tar.gz

with these ones:

http://linux.multitheftauto.com/dl/120/baseconfig.tar.gz

You can use 7-zip for uncompressing these archives, and WinMerge for comparing.

Once you have done that, add missing lines to acl.xml and mtaserver.conf, then update the server binary files, then resources. Note that there is a new resources directory layout, which was added in 1.1, so you might want to fix the resources on your server to use that too. Should make it easier when upgrading these resources in the future.

If this is a Windows server, you should be able to install 1.2 separately from 1.0.5, so it will be a bit easier for you. If it's a linux server, you can find all required files here:

Here's the easiest way: Download and install MTA 1.2 DIRECTLY on top of where your 1.0.5 is located. It will overwrite what it needs to I suppose.

Oh, yes i use windows. I installed 1.2 and copied the files overwriting my old server. But now im getting duplicate errors, can't find normal resources ( admin, webstats etc. ) and timelink and safestart issues.
