ConfigData.pm error when using nph-import.cgi

Because of the HOOJness of the DMOPZ RDF, I transferred the GT app from its current home to a dev server where I could do the import. Now when I run nph-import.cgi I get an error message:
unable to load 'old/path/to/server/Links/ConfigData.pm ': No such file or directory. at Links.pm line 65.
and another one that si almost exactly the same.

Of course I edited ConfigData.pm ... same error message. Line 65 does not say that anymore.
Is there some issue with (I assume) compiled modules that precludes me being able to edit them with a text editor? or is there just some simple solution that has eluded my efforts and my search for similar more successful efforts?
Please advise.
Thanks-

The main .cgi scripts, and a lot of the .pm files contain the variable to this at the top of the script. The way to get around it is to manually go through each of the files, and manually change it (or use my script to do it for you Tongue

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl 
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 
use strict; 

print "Content-type: text/html \n\n"; 

my $path = "/path/to/folder/you/have/lsql/in"; 
my $original = "/path/to/old/folder"; 
my $new = "/new/path/to/folder"; 

opendir (DIR, "$path"); 
my @files = readdir(DIR); 
closedir(DIR); 

undef($/); 
for my $file (@files) { 
 if ($file =~ /(html|pm|cgi)$/) { 
  open(R, "$path/$file") || die "cant open file [$file] : $!"; 
  my $data = (<R>); 
  close (R); 
  $data =~ s/$original/$new/ig; 
  open (W, ">$path/$file") || die "Error writing to file [$file]: $!"; 
  print W "$data"; 
  close (W); 
 } 
} 

print "done";

This script will go through the entire directory, and each file, and replace occurences of the old path, with the new one Smile

Sorry but I wouldn't use that script, there are quite a few problems with it that could result in data loss.

At least some of us are trying to help Paul! I used this script fine on several copies....simply make sure you have a second backup of the files, in the case of a problem. Its not hard to do! Wink
