Need to find the install instructions... Quick
I just moved servers - I downloaded the newest version of Links SQL. Is there a place that I can get instructions on how to install from scratch with an existing DB? I have been searching for an hour - Thanks for the Help!

Easy...

1) Download the latest version from GT's server
2) Upload to your server
3) Untar the file
4) Run install.cgi from your browser
5) Enter the paths/urls etc
6) After its installed, enter the DB details
7) Re-upload your templates into the /templates/ folder...

...and you should be done Smile Nothing really to it...

Existing DB?
This means you made backup of your database on your previous server?

Hey guys. Nightmare city. I actually figured it out at about 1 am this morning (at least for the most part) - I still couldn't figure out why it would not import my BACKUP file. But I finally got it.



Thanks for the reply!

Does it means, you were able to import your backup file?
