Changing DB from one server to another
Hello, I'll change the server of my site.
The new site has some other MOD's and one friend of mine has installed everything.
Now his is unable to do any work so I have to finish it up.

My only problem is to update the DB.
Which files I have to take from the old site to the new site?
(the new one has also a DB, but it is out of date, because every day there are new links submitions on the old (but still on line) site.

Can you help me?

Thanks!

If you search for moving servers in the Links 2.0 support forums, you find a BUNCH of Threads where this has been discussed before!

I did the search as you told, but I beleive that my problem is not "moving from one server to another".

This was done already!

My problem is just update the DB from one server to another!

why?
Because in the mean time of this transation, the old site is on line and the new one is not on line (reached by my domain)

So there are a lot of new links in the old site!!

You may ask: how could you move the links and now does not know how to update the DB?

Because I did not make this! a friend of my did the work for me, and now he cannot help me anymore!

Thank's

What you could basically do is to download all files in your /admin/data directory from your old server and to upload them to the corresponding Links directory on your new server.
