Moving servers...
I am moving servers this weekend and the new server I am moving to has different path's than the old server. I gzip'ed my entire /cgi-bin/ and moved it over, and then I changed all the path's to the correct ones in ConfigData, but when I try and access the Admin, I still get the following error:

Links::Config (3481): Unable to load '[OLD_PATH]/cgi-bin/admin/Links/ConfigData.pm': No such file or directory. at Links.pm line 66.

Apparently, there is still an old path somewhere. Where would this old path be, and how do I change it? Is it in the MySQL db?

I would def appreciate any help.

Thanks.

god.... finally I figured it out.

There are two paths which need to be changed in "cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi". Then it works magically. Funny

I wish GT would come up with some kinda script that will update the paths for you, cos its a bitch updating all the files manually Frown

I just wish someone would have told me. How hard would it be to put a simple manual up for "moving servers"? For those like me who are wondering.... if you're changing servers and the new server has different paths, then after you have gzipped your whole cgi-bin and moved it over, you need to change the paths in all the cgi files in the /cgi-bin/ and /cgi-bin/admin/ directories to reflect the new paths, and, if neccisariy, the new perl paths also. It's that easy.
