Update provider

regify provider software appliance

If you need help about how to update your regify provider appliance, please have a look at the Technical hints for updating the regify Provider Appliance page.

Update customization

Update to version 4.0

After you updated the regify provider, the following applies:

1. The update also updates the kernel of the appliance. Therefore you need to reboot the machine after the update!
2. Manipulated and individual text strings
   1. A lot of text has been updated, corrected and changed. If you used navigation.php to manipulate any text strings, please note that this file no longer exists.
   2. In order to change language entries, you now need to edit codeHeader.php in your customizing options.
   3. The old customized file still exists at /opt/provider/REGIFY_PUBLIC/STYLE/_navigation.php for the case you need it as a reference.
3. CSS customization
   1. During the update, the system commented all your changes in the _customize.css file in your customizing options. This was done because most of them will no longer fit but you may want to see them as a reference.
   2. As the new interface contains hundreds of additional CSS options, you can adapt the look much more to your own needs than before.
   3. There are also new options to place a header on top. Please read the customization documentation in your admin interface (PDF).
4. Adapted language flags
   1. If you previously adapted navigation.php to switch the language flags, please note that this file no longer exists.
   2. In order to change the flags, you now need to edit codeFooter.php in your customizing options.
   3. The old customized file still exists at /opt/provider/REGIFY_PUBLIC/STYLE/_navigation.php for the case you need it as a reference.
5. Check all your customization and functionality.

Update to version 3.5

After you updated the regify provider, the following applies:

1. The update also updates the kernel of the appliance. Therefore you need to reboot the machine after the update!
2. A lot of text has been updated, corrected and changed. If you are using navigation.php to manipulate any text strings, please check them immediately if they still match properly.
3. Check all your customization and functionality.

Update prices and conditions

In order to fix your "prices and conditions" page, please follow these steps:

1. Enter your regify provider administration.
2. Enter "Change provider optics and templates". The prices are located in conditions_DE.php, conditions_EN.php and conditions_FR.php.
3. Click the file in your preferred language. This shows you the current content. Please note your prices and your payment options.
4. Now enter all three files and remove the complete content (Ctrl+A, Delete). Now save the empty page. This will restore our default template with correct product names.
5. Now enter all three files again and change the prices and payment options to the noted one of your previous templates.

If you don't like the default templates provided by regify, please ensure that at least all the important informations and product names are found in your own templates.

Enable regibox

In order to enable regibox at your regify provider (min V4.0), please follow these steps:

1. Contact sales(at)regify.com to clarify the contractual needs for running regibox.
2. Create some network share in your internal network. It has to be a dedicated SMB share. This share
   1. needs to be redundant
      Please make sure that the data is always available to the regify provider appliance.
   2. needs to be big enough to cover all files of your customers
      Please calculate the needed size by your needs, number of users planned and the limit you like to define as maximum space per user (MAXBOXSIZE).
   3. needs to get backed up periodically.
      Please make backups of your users data and reserve some separate space for some, at least, daily backup.
3. Enter the regify appliance menu and navigate to "Provider..." -> "Configure regibox"
4. Fill in the credentials to your SMB share.
5. Check your (sub)provider configuration menu flags. The "X" flag needs to be checked (Menu-option „regibox“ enabled).
6. If you do not like to keep the default maximum size of 2GB for a users regiboxes, please enter the following line into your provider main customization file:
   

   define('MAXBOXSIZE', 10); // size in gigabytes

Remarks:

The regify provider appliance does not make backups of the SMB share! The internal backup mechanism does not cover this data. Please backup the data by using the options of your storage software or your storage devices. The same is for redundancy. We strongly suggest you to make a backup every 6 hours, at least daily! The data in the SMB share is always encrypted. You are free to do encrypted backups, but from regify's perspective, there is no need for encrypted backups.
