To install or re-install MGI, download the latest MGI installer. If you have an existing version of MGI installed on your web server, re-installing MGI will NOT overwrite your data such as preferences and databases. By default, a new installation of MGI is in demo mode. You may enter your MGI serial number and authorization code during the installation process OR after installation using the MGI Server Admin web interface. NOTE: The web server should be quit or stopped during installation.

To update MGI, you may use the Version Tracker feature of the MGI Server Admin or download and replace specific module files.

MGI Server [Essentials | Essentials Plus | Commerce]

12 July 2002 - Version 2.1.13

Downloads:

  Features:

  • The MGI Preferences are no longer written during shut down. They are only written when changes are made and saved. This should prevent any corruption of the preferences due to hanging thread or other issues during the server shut down process.
  • A new "MGI Preferences Backup Previous" file is now created. When the preferences are saved, the current preference file that does not contain the update is saved to the "MGI Preferences Backup Previous" file. The new preferences that do contain the update are saved to both the "MGI Preferences" and "MGI Preferences Backup" file (as a mirror). If the new change is a mistake, you may manually revert to the "MGI Preferences Backup Previous" file. If the current preferences become corrupt in any way, you may use the mirror "MGI Preferences Backup" file or in an emergency you may use the "MGI Preferences Backup Previous" file which will not contain the last change made.
  • Fixed bug where relative file location references including at least two folders higher in the file system (../../) and outside of a defined MGI Domain or Region would crash the machine. An error message is now displayed.
