moved to new server, database.def file not readable
I moved my Links SQL 2.x installation over to a new server (cPanel to cPanel migration), and I'm getting the following error message when trying to view the site:

Configuration file, /.../cgi-bin/links/admin/defs/database.def, is not readable.

I tried 0644, 0666, 0755, and, 0777 permissions on the file, but no change. (It's been so long since I installed it, I can't remember if there's anywhere that says what to manually set permissions to. The manual I have doesn't seem to mention anything.)

I did find this thread:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Gossamer_Links_C5/Discussions_F18/Re%3A_%5Bdbode%5D_Which_DBD_do_I_have_to_install_%3F_P228997/?search_string=database.def%2C%20is%20not%20readable#p228997

But resyncing the Category properties has no effect on the database.def file. Is there any way to get at that one with a resync?

All the database connectivity appears to be fine in the admin panel...
