Table Prefix
I am doing a fresh install of beta5. When the sql setup askes for Table Prefix what do I enter? This seems to be the easiest program I have ever installed. I am just stumped with this last question. If I leave it blank will it set to default?
TIA

Whatever you want.

If you have never run a previous version of Links, or are installing into a new database, you can omit the prefix.

If you are installing to the same database as Links 1.1x, it's a good idea to pick something like NG_ or new_ or something you can live with, and that way your new tables will not get confused with the old ones.

Thanks- I will leave it blank.
Now when I do a build I receive "page cannot be displayed" and nothing gets built. (I an used to building in perl links, this will take some grtting used to) Anyway, I checked the paths and URL's and everything seems fine. Is there a user manual available?

What page are you trying to build? Maybe it doesn't exist.

But you are using the beta, so go up 2 forums, for more information.
