The following instructions will guide you through the process of moving your Ultimate Survey Enterprise .NET survey software from one server to another.

These instructions are for version 2.1 and below. For version 3.0 and above, please contact us at http://www.prezzatech.com/support

Important Note: These instructions assume that you are not moving the database to another server.

1. Copy all files from the original location to the location of your choice on the new server.

2. Update the web.config file on the new server.

This file has various settings which tell the application how to

run. The settings which must be configured are as follows:

DefaultConnectionString - This will likely not change, but please

check this value to make sure it is still valid.

ApplicationURL - This setting should be the URL of your web

server, e.g. http://www.prezzatech.com

AppicationRoot - This setting is the virtual path to your

installation of UltimateSurvey, e.g. /UltimateSurvey

3. Create an IIS application out of the folder on the new server.

4. You are now ready to run Ultimate Survey on the new server.
