Guys,

would you please advise me how I might move a Links directory, i.e. cgi scripts off of my www.websitesolution.net/cgiscripts to another server without loosing functionality ?

Will all I have to change is the paths for the script?

The site will be moved from its current location, to another site on another server with the same confifuration as far as OS and perl etc.

It will be moved to cgisolution.com.

Any help would be apreciated.

Solomon

Sol,
Just edit your links.cgf file to point to the new paths.

Website Solution,

All of the instructions below are for a unix machine. Please keep in mind that I am not doing this as this is typed.

Telnet into your machine and tar all of your files. For example cd to your cgi-bin dir if that is where you installed links and type:

tar cf /path/to/links/linksbackup.tar admin


Then download linksbackup.tar in binary mode to your computer.

Next upload linksbackup.tar to your new server in the cgi-bin dir in binary mode.

Telnet into that machine and go to the cgi-bin dir and type:

tar xvf linksbackup.tar

Your files should be unpacked correctly and with the same permissions as before. If for some reason the permissions are wrong go through the Links setup and set the permissions. Remember that you need to copy your *.cgi files from your cgi-bin dir and create the dir that you want links to build your directory to.

I hope this helps.

Wow! You guys are GREAT!

Thank you so very much.
