vb.org Archive - Links and Downloads Manager

I still have a problem from a few weeks back,

I moved to a new server and since then LDM does not work.

My files are in the right place, i have even upgraded my ldm, i get the following error:

Sorry - link is not currently available

Im really puzzled as to why i get this message. I hope you can help me. thanks

Did you by any chance move from a server that was running Apache to one that is running Windows IIS with php in cgi mode? (You can find out on your VB/admincp home page.)

By default, IIS in cgi mode does not provide one of the location variables (DOCUMENT_ROOT) that LDM uses to find files on your local server.

If this is the problem, there are three possible solutions:
- get DOCUMENT_ROOT defined (I'm not an expert on configuring web servers, so get some advice or search on Gogle)
- upgrade to version 2.2.6 which fixes this problem - you have to make a small code change
- use the LDM admin settings local_file_root and local_file_root_ settings to get LDM pointed at the right place in your server file system.

If this is not the problem, send me a PM and I'm happy to take a look at your site.

i am not sure about local_file_root and local_file_root_settings

my files are in a folder off the root, so they are in a folder called files/

I get the following error:

The following setting(s) are invalid
upload_dir : /files
Directory /files (/mnt/Target01/var/www/files) doesn't exist and I can't create it

Its got the wrong address to my root... I know what the correct path should be, LDM is missing part of the address

how would i configer it? I have no clue either. :(

EDIT:
OK, i got it to work, what i did was edit the local_links_init.php ....... should i be editing the local_links_init.php ? what else can i use apart from the document_root? I tried adding a line underneath in the part you meant to define your own document root. It works now.

Editing local_links_init.php is fine - just remember what you did in case you ever upgrade to a new version of LDM.

So you need to grab them from the database? This sql grabs the last 10, most recent first.

Code:

SELECT 

link.linkid AS linkid, 

link.linkname AS linkname, 

link.linkuserid AS linkuserid, 

link.linkusername AS linkusername, 

link.linkurl AS linkurl, 

link.linkdesc AS linkdesc, 

link.numrate AS numrate, 

link.totrate AS totrate, 

link.linkhits AS linkhits, 

link.linksize AS linksize, 

link.linkstatus AS linkstatus, 

link.linkdate AS linkdate, 

link.linkmoderate AS linkmoderate, 

ltoc.catid AS linkcatid 



FROM local_linkslink AS link 

LEFT JOIN local_linksltoc AS ltoc 

ON link.linkid = ltoc.linkid 



WHERE link.linkstatus>0 



ORDER BY 

linkdate DESC, 

linkname ASC, 

linkcatid ASC



LIMIT 10
