Databases?
I suppose this script requires a database. How do I setup this database to work with this script, how many "tables" does it have to have. I know HTML like the english language, but when it comes to Databases I just shiver in fear :-)

Links 2.0 uses flat text files for the "databases". It already comes with the database "files" you need:

Code:

links.db
linksid.txt
categories.db
categoryid.txt


Currently, Links 2.0 does not work with other database formats, like Access or MSQL.

If you are interested in using SQL databases, I would recommend using Links SQL.

So this requires no actual "database" to work? Just the server and CGI access?

For Links 2.0, NON-SQL version, YES, it does not require ODBC or other database connections.
