Re: What does moving Links SQL to a new server involve? In reply to
If you are on the same ISP, they should be able to move you over without affecting anything.

If you had a virtual domain, it should work without changing anything except the _PATH_ to the various directories that are defined in the Links.pm file.

Usually on a virtual host your physical location is not the same as the location on a dedicated host...

ie:

http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/Links/admin/admin.cgi

is the same on both servers, but the physical Unix path would be different:

On a virtual server, it's usually below your user directory:

/usr/homes/your_id/www/public_html/cgi-bin/Links/admin/admin.cgi

while on a dedicated server it could be

/www/cgi-bin/Links/admin/admin.cgi

Or the default location for Apache:

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/cgi-bin/Links/admin/admin.cgi

If your ISP is hosting the MySQL database for you, the connections should be the same over the network.

Of course, if you know nothing about any of this, or anything about software or scripts or file directories, you can see if your ISP can move your files over for you, or you might need some help from Alex or a consultant.
