Changing Perl location from default
Hi All

The default Perl location configed for LinksSQL is /usr/local/bin/perl

How can it be aimed at /usr/bin/perl ?

My guess is that the whole thing has to be reinstalled and to change the perl path on install.cgi to /usr/bin/perl

Thanks Smile

Its not that hard... BUT you have to be VERY careful when doing this!

In SSH, type;

Code:
cd /path/to/your/linkssql/folder

This needs to be the folder where add.cgi etc is located.

Code:
perl -p -i -e 's|/usr/local/bin/perl|/usr/bin/perl|g' `grep -r -l '/usr/local/bin/perl' .`

This has the potential to be a quite nasty command, so please be careful when using it!

Cheers
