Notification problem - wierd
I have been happily running a 1000+ links2.0 for the last 4 years with few problems.

I have just amended the the notification email address for new links and modified links.

ie this line

# Email address of the administrator. BE SURE TO SET!
$db_admin_email = 'new.address@mydomain.com';

from the links.cfg file.

However, notifications are still coming to the old address that I had in that line.

Yes I have run build all.

I've even checked the file via ftp and it's up there correct.

What gives? Have I missed out on something here?

Very confused........

Hi,

Have you made any modifications to the core emailing routines? Thats the most likely problem.

Otherwise, are you using mod_perl? If so, you may need to reboot it, so that the cache of your config file is rewritten.

What happens if you "vi" the file via SSH/Telnet?

cd /path/to/admin/folder
vi links.cfg

Cheers

No - not that I am aware of.

"are you using mod_perl?"
No, I don't think so. What is mod_perl?

"What happens if you "vi" the file via SSH/Telnet?"
I'm sorry I don't speak techno-nerd Wink so I dont understand the question........

"cd /path/to/admin/folder
vi links.cfg "
What does this all mean?

Cakey
