How do i transfer linksql install to new server?
Hello everybody,

Thanks for reading this thread. I have to change the server which my install of linkssql is installed on, however i can not find any documentation at all on how to do this.

I have copied the files to the new server (same domain name will be used) and have copied the database over (keeping the same database name also) however i can not find any "config" file or reference to any such thing in any of the manuals i have been provided.

I see inside the admin panel of the old installation that i can edit the paths to scripts and or db details there but i can not see any of those values in the database itself. I was guessing that i could just edit those settings inside the db, or a single config file somewhere. Could anyone be so kind as to tell me what i have to do?

Regards

Spank.

Thanks very much for your reply, i looked and looked but couldn't find it. I must of had blinkers on or something. Anyway, i have done it now. What a lot of files that contain hard coded references. Is this normal for them all to reference a path in the file instead of includes to a config value?

Just a general question.

Hi,

No problem.

Yup, thats normal. Its for some web-servers which don't accept the ./ path (they would give errors on the use lib '' part otherwise). Bit of a sod sometimes, but thats what `grep` is for Angelic
