Hi there,

I've run the base install for glinks 2.99.1 and everything worked fine, but I can't figure out how to migrate data from my previous version.

As this version is a beta version, it seems like it's best to do the install into a different directory so that I can keep my site running.

I expected to be able to use the database->import from Links 2.x but when I try to import, I get the following message:

Import error: CRITICAL ERROR OCCURED: Cannot open path/to/defs/category.def:

The path is correct, but the category.def it's looking for should be links_category.def.
it seems to not recognize the PREFIX as found in database def file.

I see that someone else had this problem:

It's difficult to do any testing with live data without a lot of extra work of manually recreating fields. Or is there a better way to do a migration of data to a new script set?

I'll look forward to hearing from you.

peace.

copy over the live db to testdb
install your existing running links (2.2.x) version. (testinstall <-->testdb)
Then upgrade this test install

Thanks
