Have you hacked the links.def file by removing the date fields? If so, that is your problem.

Buh Bye!

Hi,

I deleted some log files that build up regularly with links 2 and perhaps some other files that were surplus. Perhaps I deleted a useful file. Since I have a recent backup copy of my site I can upload what is missing if you can Identify the file you are referring to. Would this be the proper way to fix the problem?

Yep...restoring your Links system to a previous "state" is the best recommendation I have.

You should have these in your data directory;
  • hits (directory)
  • rates (directory)
  • categories.db
  • categoryid.txt
  • email.db
  • links.db
  • linksid.txt
  • modified.db
  • url.db
  • validate.db


Your backup directory will contain
  • category.db
  • email.db
  • links db


The info in /backup/category.db is the same as /data/categories.db.

Hi,



I had those files you described... but evidently something has been screwed up. I've asked my host to delete the links folder and replace it with a backup that was done a week ago. I hope this won't cause even more problems.

I wonder if this is much to do about nothing though, after all the dbase is building and links is working perfectly...?
