I am curious to know if there exists a list of all the files that are associated to Links SQL and which directories they get installed in. I need to reinstall the product but want to be sure I have removed all the files from the previous install completely.
Thanks.

(1). If upgrading from an earlier version, chose Upgrade as install option.
(2). If installing the same version, do it as a new install, but keep the earlier paths as the paths for new install. It will overwrite the files.

In option 1 your tables would automatically be altered, new tables added (if any) as per specs of newer version that you are installing.

In option 2 you can chose not to overwrite the database tables to keep your database intact.

If you have data in linksdb do a

mysqldump -u linksdbusername -p linksdbname > linksdb.sql

just in case it may be needed for a recovery back.

Backup your templates in case any modifications have been done.

Not sure if MySQLDump is fussy, but I believe you don't need the spaces after -u and -p. i.e, it should look like;


Also, when doing a backup... be sure to tar up your whole LSQL folder too;


Just thought I would post this... in case the other command didn't work =)

Ah, I guess its fussy on different servers. If I type;

mysqldump -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD database_name > test.sql

...then it gives me an error about "permission denied for use xx@foobar.com".

And if i type:

mysqldump -ulinksusername -plinkspassword linksdbname > linksdb.sql

mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user: 'linkusername@localhost' (Using password: YES) when trying to connect

mysqldump -u linksusername -p linksdbname > linksdb.sql [ENTER]

Prompts for Password
Backup done :)

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I wasn't really concerned with the back as the previous install for this site was done some time ago and never actually used. The hosting company I use moved my account to a new server and the directories that Links SQL was in got screwed up. I tried to reinstall it as is and ended up with a mess of files and directories all over the place.
I actually ended up hearing from GT Support and they gave me the info I needed about what files to remove from where. Hopefully this will help. Will be doing the reinstall later today. Wish me luck.

Thanks again.
