This guide instructs how to upgrade H-Sphere Windows software from 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.4 Betas to 2.4 RC 1.

Requirements:

1. Make sure your H-Sphere Windows module has version 2.3.1:
   Open the file [Disk]:\\HSphere\scripts\consts.inc and check the parameters:
   // the current version
   version = 2.31
   If the version is older, update it to version 2.3.1 or higher.
2. Open SOAP port 10125 for data communication between Control Panel and Windows server. This new protocol is used in H-Sphere starting with version 2.4 Beta 7.
   Important: if you're using Serv-U FTP service, make sure to disable SOAP feature in hsphere.properties. Currently, H-Sphere with Serv-U installed doesn't support SOAP.

Upgrade:

1. Download H-Sphere Windows 2.4 RC 1 at:
   http://www.psoft.net/shiv/U24/U24.0RC1/HSInst24rc1.exe
2. Run the file you have downloaded (HSInst24rc1.exe).
3. Update your Webshell to version 4.
4. Optionally, install Pdb package, appropriate for this Winbox version. Read more in Crash Reporting.
5. Inform support@psoft.net about the upgrade. This is required so you can get appropriate support from psoft.
