Not building Links
I just moved my Links SQL to a new server. Everything was working fine at the old server. Now, when I "Build All," everything is built EXCEPT the links. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

Thanks! :)

Make sure you set the paths correctly.

Also, what error messages are you getting?

When you say the links are not built, what do you mean by that?

Hi Pugdog,

Thanks for responding :) I've checked and re-checked my paths.. everything seems fine. When I do the build, I'm not getting any error messages at all. This is exactly what it says:

The links *should* be appearing in the "test" category. On the home page http://cRealm.com it lists two links, which is correct. However, upon visiting the "test" category page, no links appear.

Everything else in the directory is build and works fine. If I enable detail pages, they ARE built for both links; however the links on the category page still do not appear. I have also switched back to the origional template pages to rule out the possibility that the error was casued by customization.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks! :)

Well, I couldn't figure it out, so I ended up re-installing the whole thing. It seems to be working now.

Thanks,
