Changed DataBase Password
Hi,

I had to change the password for the database that Links SQL was hooked up to. Then I went into the SQL Server Setup on the Control Panel and changed it to the new password and chose:

Create new default Links SQL tables in this database but do not overwrite any existing data

Nothing works now.. I can't build, browse or verify links..
When I go to MySQLMan, everything is still there.

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks!

So you definatly updated it in Setup > SQL Server , so its using the new login details?

Does it give you an error message? (you may need to turn on debugging, in Setup > Misc.)

Hope that helps

no error message.. debugging has always been on..

browse shows no folders and when i try to build or validate it does nothing.

if you want, i can privately give you access to the control panel.

Still no luck.. website still works but i can't see anything in the control panel.
can't build, browse or validate links.

Loooks I might have to re-install links sql.
Can I re-install without deleting the database? Anything else I can do to avoid re-installing?
