| 19 : | b. In old_system/Global.pm edit the items: $cgiWebworkURL, $htmlWebworkURL, | ||
| 20 : | and $mainDirectory. In these items, replace "system" by "old_system". | ||
| 21 : | c. In you webserver's htdocs and cgi-bin directories (or configuration | ||
| 22 : | files), create new links for $cgiWebworkURL and $htmlWebworkURL (just | ||
| 23 : | copy your current setup replacing "system" by "old_system" in the links | ||
| 24 : | or cgi aliases). | ||
| 25 : | d. To get a course (e.g. mth140a) to use the old_system, edit the course's | ||
