A question about links.cfg
For http://localhost/
Does that mean http://yoursite.com ?

What does localhost stand for?

Thanks
Owen

localhost would be a way for you to bring it up if you were running the web server on the PC you are using. Just change that to the url to your web host, and the appropriate directory

Thanks for replying so quickly!
Is this right?

$db_script_path = "/www/links/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.childrensmusic.net/links/cgi-bin/admin";

Thanks again
Owen

It looks right, but there is no way for us to be able to tell your path without being logged into your system.

One thing. Do you have /cgi-bin/ as a directory under /links/ like it is listed in your URL?

Also, for your path... One way to check that is to log in via telnet (if you have access), and change into the directory that you need the path to. Once there, type pwd and you will be told the path to that directory.
