Hello,
I had a need to change a password on my SQL database that drives my Links 2.0 environment and I did so by editing the database.def file directly, thinking this would not be an issue. Most MySQL-based password schemes allow for direct text edits, but alas, I found that my Links archictecure hashes the passwords only after I made the text change.
This created an error from which I have not been able to recover. The message reads as follows:
Can't use string ("mysql") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at c:/inetpub/scripts/LinksSQL/lsqldev-2.1.2/admin/GT/SQL.pm line 146.
This error shows up for search functions and also when I use admin.cgi to mess with the SQL Server script option.
How can I recover from this?
Many Thanks,
Jon Almada
