Something changed between when I sent this message - that was the URL I
was using, it was when I entered the password that I got the error - I'm
not getting it now and I can get to ring admin that way. However, when I
try to access ringadmin through this URL
http://www.wosib.org/cgi-bin/ringlink/ringadmin.pl - I get to the page
OK, but it doesn't accept the password - says that the password is
invalid...
So I tried going through master admin and changing the password for the
ring - and I get this error:
Can't open 'wosib
/ring.db'
No such file or directory at lib/rlmain.pm line 353.
That method of moving the files is problem - the old server is a windows
box, and I never upgraded it to the version that supports a backup on a
windows box. If you think that upgrading the installation on the old
server to the new version and then performing the backup of the data
files will work on a windows server, I'll give it a try. Otherwise, I
need another idea....
Thanks
Pam

I downloaded
all the files from the data directory to my server - then installed
the newest version of Ringlink - and uploaded all the data
files into
the data directory where they were before. I can navigate the ring
HOWEVER:
Problem #1
When I try to access ring admin - I get this error:
Execution of (/home/sites/site2/web/cgi-bin/admin.pl) is
not permitted
for the following reason: Script file not found.
How about trying this URL:
http://www.wosib.org/cgi-bin/ringlink/admin.pl
Problem #2
When I try to add a site, I get this error message:
Can't create 'wosib
/sites.db'
No such file or directory at lib/site.pm line 246.
There is a file wosib/sites.db I made sure that the file
was there and
had adequate permissions.
All the permissions on the directories have been set as
stated in the
installation instructions.
If you uploaded the files using FTP, it may be a file
ownership problem. When moving a Ringlink installation
between two servers, or between directories on the same
server, the simpliest way to prevent this kind of problem is
to store the data in a backup file using the 'Backup data'
routine in admin.pl, and then upload that file to the data
directory at the new location and run 'Restore data'.
Try that first, if it's possible. Let us know if it isn't.
