Can I reinstall Links?
I messed up my Links SQL. I don't know how to fix it and don't want to bother. There is data, but I have good backup. Can I reinstall it on top of this one?

If you really messed it up, why not delete your entire cgi-bin/Links, and reinstall.

But, when you create the tables, pick "do not overwrite" and preserve your data.

Obviously being sure to backup your /admin/defs/ folder, just in case you have made any new fields etc Wink

You can regenerate the .def files from the -->admin-->database area :) It's option #3 I think. But I think it's also done if you don't overwrite tables, but it's probably a good thing to do again anyway.

I'd back up the templates directory if you made a lot of changes (but his premise was the site was corrupted completely) and and possibly plugins if you bought any and don't have a back up.
