Not a urgent question, just a curious one.
In the admin interface, if you click on "Setup" then "Initial Setup" on the left hand menu, it will take you through the entire set up process again, and in doing that, wipe out any information that you might have, including deleting database.def in the def folder.
Well, the first time I went through it, it works. Gossamer forum went down because there's no connection information. And when I go to admin.cgi, it takes me right back to setup.cgi. Everything is what I expected it to be.
Second time I went through the initial setup, it took me back to setup.cgi, but my Gossamer Forum is still up and functional, and I could still connect to the database. database.def file was not deleted like I have anticipated.
Any Comments/explanation/speculation?
Is this how it is suppose to behave? Is it suppose to keep the database.def or not?
