ABC Mod
Hello,

I am really struggling with mod and would appreciate any help.

I followed all the instructions to install on a virgin script of Links2. Then I proceed to make all the adjustments for DBman in order to have ABC search.

When I go to build I get an error from nph build.

And when I try to run to DB man I get this error.

DBMan encountered an internal error. Please enable debugging to view.

Thanks

George

I believe that's a question for the DBMAN Installation Forum, isn't it? Wink

In default.cfg set the following variable to 1:
Code:
$db_debug = 1;
Then check the error message it returns.

I am getting this error with Links2:

Generating alphabetical view pages . . .
** Building Letter: a ...

It just stops there.

Thanks

It seems I have misunderstood you. In your first posting you said you are using DBMan to generate alphabetical links. So which mod are you using?

Thomas,

You are correct. I am using DBman (at least I am trying too). I followed the mod according and still have problems after building...

If you have access to Telnet, type in the following command in order to debug your script:
Code:
perl -c www/path/to/db.cgi
Other than that, check and re-check your paths and permissions. And take a look at the DBMan Installation Forum.

The dynamic category pages mod I'm working on will also allow you to display ABC links. Also can be altered to display the ABC links inside each category if required.

It'll just involve using one cgi file, making a new template and adding a sub to site_html_templates.pl.

Good Luck!

Hi Glenn,

Is that mod available currently?

If not, when will it be available?

Thanks

This forum is not the correct place for this thread.

Could you make your mind up...first you say you are installing a DBMAN mod, then you say you are using Links2.......what actually are you doing??

And Hez, please stop sending me private messages. All I did was trying to help you. I will refrain from doing so in the future.

Thomas,

I sent you ONE private message. Try to refrain from bringing this onto the board. It's for helping others. I really don't remember you ever helping me out except telling me to search. Which by the way, I do. You should re-read your posts before you comment on others.

Paul,

Read the message!

I am using a mod for Links2.

Not sure what is so hard about that to understand?

Well maybe it is because you mentioned DBMAN about 5 times.

Good luck finding the answer (myself and Thomas probably won't be answering your question).

Hi Hez,

I understand what you mean. I had somewhat of a struggle with that mod. I am willing to help you out as best I can. I am no perl expert. But I did get that mod working. I can email you my notes. Just sent me a private message and I will do the best I can. There has been a few people that have helped me out when I could not get it. Even if it was minor error. They still took the time to answer.

Thanks to all that take their time to contribute.

Especially, Eliot SmileSmileSmile
(sorry..do not mean to embarass you but you are always there and helping others even after your site was built. And you do on your own time and expecting nothing in return. You are a very special person to do that)

Peace,

Madonna

It'll be avaiable as soon as my hosting comes through. Hopefully two days time. Figured I should let you know because I think you might find it easier to install.

Good Luck!

Glenn
