Update to EZproxy 4.0h GA (2007-07-11) for Windows

These instructions cover how to update existing installations to new versions of EZproxy. These instructions are valid to update from any version of EZproxy to this release. This process will preserve all existing configuration files.

1. Rename your existing copy of ezproxy.exe to another name such as ezproxy20081205.exe
2. Download ezproxy-win32.exe into your EZproxy directory.
3. Open a "Command Prompt" window by going to Start | Run..., typing
   cmd
   
   in the Open: box, then clicking OK.
4. Change your current directory to the directory where EZproxy is installed with commands such as:
   c:
   cd \ezproxy
   
5. Rename ezproxy-win32.exe to ezproxy.exe with the command:
   rename ezproxy-win32.exe ezproxy.exe
   
6. Create any new files required for the updated release with the command:
   ezproxy -m
   
7. If EZproxy is currently running on your server from a command prompt, press CTRL/C to stop it.

   If EZproxy is currently running as a service, stop it with the command:

   net stop ezproxy
   
8. If you run EZproxy directly from the command line, start it with the command:
   ezproxy
   

   If you run EZproxy as a service, start it with the command:

   net start ezproxy
   

EZproxy can automatically restart when you reboot your server. See www.usefulutilities.com/support/winserv.html for more information.
