how can i fix this error

the new server comes with webhost manger

Hi,

Any reason you are doing the move like that? Its a *hell* of a lot easier doing it via SSH/grap, and then mysql/mysqldump =))

Example here:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...ons_P298281/#p298281

If not, then the reason you get that error, is due to a LSQL bug (not an issue in GLinks).

Change:

Code:
CREATE TABLE ClickTrack ( 
LinkID INT NOT NULL, 
IP CHAR(25) NOT NULL, 
ClickType ENUM('Rate','Hits','Review') NOT NULL, 
ReviewID INT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, 
Created TIMESTAMP NOT NULL, 
INDEX cndx (Created), 
PRIMARY KEY (LinkID,IP,ClickType,ReviewID,LinkID,IP,ClickType,ReviewID,LinkID,IP,ClickType,ReviewID,LinkID,IP,ClickType,ReviewID) 
) ;

...to:

Code:
CREATE TABLE ClickTrack ( 
LinkID INT NOT NULL, 
IP CHAR(25) NOT NULL, 
ClickType ENUM('Rate','Hits','Review') NOT NULL, 
ReviewID INT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, 
Created TIMESTAMP NOT NULL, 
INDEX cndx (Created), 
PRIMARY KEY (LinkID,IP,ClickType,ReviewID) 
);

(run this via SQL Monitor, or MySQLMan)

The other one should work with:

Code:
CREATE TABLE Links ( 
ID INT unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 
Title CHAR(100) NOT NULL, 
URL CHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'http://', 
LinkOwner CHAR(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'admin', 
Add_Date DATE NOT NULL, 
Mod_Date DATE NOT NULL, 
Description TEXT, 
Contact_Name CHAR(255), 
Contact_Email CHAR(255), 
Hits INT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, 
isNew ENUM('No','Yes') DEFAULT 'No' NOT NULL, 
isChanged ENUM('No','Yes') DEFAULT 'No' NOT NULL, 
isPopular ENUM('No','Yes') DEFAULT 'No' NOT NULL, 
isValidated ENUM('No','Yes') DEFAULT 'Yes' NOT NULL, 
Rating FLOAT(12,2) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, 
Votes SMALLINT unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, 
Status SMALLINT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, 
Date_Checked DATETIME, 
Timestmp TIMESTAMP, 
INDEX stndx (Status), 
INDEX valndx (isValidated), 
INDEX userndx (LinkOwner), 
INDEX popndx (isPopular), 
INDEX newndx (isNew), 
INDEX urlndx (URL), 
PRIMARY KEY (ID) 
)

Hope that helps.
