One simple thing you can do is (temporarily) renaming the /data directory to something else. The resulting error message may give

Ah Hah! This experiment worked! It told me that the server was looking for CrickRock.com and not crickrock.com . Case-sensitivity!!!!! argg!

Yep, case matters on Unix/Linux boxes.

You should be aware, though, that I often emphasize that Ringlink
was not designed for running really large webring services.

you gave me this same warning when i first set out to make a large ringlink system- and so far it's been able to handle it without any problems.

I'm truly glad to be proven wrong on this one. So far, that is. ;-)

i can see maybe some issues arising but it'll be good to see how it
handles huh? the actual "living" rings is probably a LOT less than
2,000.  I'll have to do some house cleaning.

Yeah, if you were away for 2.5 years, you certainly will...

p.s. while following the installation instructions carefully, i
found the step of creating a sitecount directory to be very
vague- i didn't get it until i read past support questions.

Okay, thanks for saying that. The principal info about it is in the rlconfig.pm file. What would you suggest?

I would suggest a step in the readme.html file saying something about "directories you will have to create apart from using the included directory structure:" this will include the sitecount directory and the mo directory.

Mmmm... I'll think about that. Thanks!

I hope you go for version 3.04, since I just released it. :)

Who would have thought that you would release a new version 2 minutes before I posted that?! Of course I went back and installed 3.04 and it's working great now.

Glad to hear that. Even if you will take a large step, upgrading from version 1.04, you shouldn't encounter any problems when upgrading your 'live' system.
