Ok here goes. The server I am on does not allow me to make a cgi-bin directory so the dir where Links is called cgi also my servers defalt Perl is Perl4 so I changed all the paths to point to "usr/bin/perl5"
which is correct. I then transfered all the files to the cgi dir.
All cgi's are set to chmod 755.
Here is a copy of the sets in link.cfg
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/webadmin/home/web2/sbeck/public_html/metalook/cgi/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.worldbannerexchange.net/metalook/cgi/links/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.worldbannerexchange.net/metalook/cgi/links";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/webadmin/home/web2/sbeck/public_html/metalook/cgi/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.worldbannerexchange.net/metalook/cgi/pages";

# PATH and URL of What's New page. No Trailing slash.
$build_new_path = "$build_root_path/New";
$build_new_url = "$build_root_url/New";

# PATH and URL of What's Cool page. No Trailing slash.
$build_cool_path = "$build_root_path/Cool";
$build_cool_url = "$build_root_url/Cool";

# PATH and URL of What's Rating page. No Trailing slash.
$build_ratings_path = "$build_root_path/Ratings";
$build_ratings_url = "$build_root_url/Ratings";
I can't seem to figure out why I am getting a 404not found when When I goto http://www.worldbannerexchange.net/metalook/cgi/admin/admin.cgi
If someone can help please let me know.
Thanks ScottB

First of all, you're going to the wrong file, you should be going to www.worldbannerexchange.net/metalook/cgi/links/admin/admin.cgi . If your server only runs Perl 4, you're not going to be able to run Links. You need Perl 5 to run links.

I mistyped the link. I am going to www.worldbannerexchange.net/metalook/cgi/links/admin/admin.cgi
And I do have Perl5 installed. Its just not the defalt perl so I have to specify perl5.
example usr/bin/perl on my server would point to perl 4. usr/bin/perl5 would point to perl5 on my server.I have had problems in the past with other scripts because they assume perl5 is defalt.
If someone can help please do.
Thanks

Fix it
thanks
