I recently decided it would be best if I re-installed LinksSQl after trying to upgrade and having trouble.

So, I deleted old files (not much customizations anyway...been waiting until I ahd time to learn LinksSQL)

So, I uploaded the dat file and the install.cgi, ran isntall cgi and it looked successful. When I tried to go to setup.cgi, I get an internal server error.

I looked in my log files and found this:

Can someone tell me what this mean and how do I rectify the situation?

Hi,

This sounds like your files are corrupt? Did you run out of disk space on the server, or perhaps upload the install.dat file in binary mode (however the installer should have caught this).

Cheers,

Nope, I don't think it is corrupted, because the installer unpacked it and all. just when I went to runt he setup I got the above error.

Hi,

The error:

/big/dom/xcurvemag/cgi-bin/Links/admin/GT/Base.pm line 63,

tells me that GT/Base.pm didn't get unarchived properly. I can't see how this could happen. Can you send me telnet/ssh access so I can take a look?

Cheers,

Alex

Alex, I sent the info you requested via PM late last night. Please let me know that you got it and I haven't sent the info to the wrong person. :)

Thanks. E

Hi,

Sorry, I just re-ran install.cgi with a fresh copy and it installed fine. For some reason, all your files were corrupted due to windows line feeds in them. Did you perhaps use FTP to move the files around? I can't imagine what would cause this.

If you go to your admin, you'll need to enter your setup information to be able to connect to mysql and create your sql tables. Once that's done, you should be back in business.

I'll reply to your email as well.

Cheers,

Alex
