Deleting all LinksSQL files from webserver.?
How do I do this.? I get allot of permission denied when I try to delete the directory.



Also.. can I install linksSQL over a copy that is installed if I delete files accidentally, to get the files back.?

Hi,

All files are owned and written by the Web user(i.e. apache or nobody, etc.). So you should have root access to delete them or change their mod to 777

Your best bet would be to upload a script like FileMan to delete the entier folder..not sure if you can specifically do this with FileMan, but I'm sure there are programs around that will do similar things. The other way to do it is to get your wehost to CHOWN the entier folder to your username. At the moment they are likely to be owned by root or nobody, but you need them owned by you before you can delete them.

They are most certainly not...haha....not unless you installed as root in which case you wouldn't have a problem deleting them as you'd log in to the root account ;)
