Ok I installed/uploaded the stuff the readme file told me to.
But now I am lost from there. I do not understand
see below
(Can someone...Anyone please walk me through this info and what it means, and how to get this app working.)
Upload the cascading style sheet: links.css and the background image
to the directory where you want the pages created.
2. Double check that the Path to perl is correct. Links defaults with
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
If this is incorrect, you'll need to edit the first line of every .cgi
program, and change it to where you have Perl version 5 installed.
3. Set permissions:
chmod 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) on all .cgi files.
chmod 666 (-rw-rw-rw-) on all files in the data directory.
chmod 666 (-rw-rw-rw-) on all your template files (if using the online editor).
chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) on the hits directory
chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) on the ratings directory
chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) on the directory where Links pages will be created.
4. Edit links.cfg and set as a minimum:
- PATH to your admin directory, this is a system path, not a URL! If you
get an error message about not finding a file, look at the SCRIPT_FILENAME
variable for clues on the proper path!
$db_script_path = "/alex/links/cgi-bin/admin";
- URL to your admin directory. This should start with 'http://'.
$db_dir_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin/admin";
- URL of where your user cgi is kept. If you kept the default installation,
it will just be one level below the admin directory.
$db_cgi_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin";
- PATH to where your pages are built. This should be a system path, not a URL.
$build_root_path = "/alex/links/pages";
- URL of where your pages are.
$build_root_url = "http://localhost/links/pages";
- Set one of either:
$db_mail_path = ''; $db_smtp_server = '';
If you are on NT, set $db_smtp_server to your SMTP server. If you are on UNIX,
set $db_mail_path to your sendmail program.
- Set the email address for who all emails will come from:
$db_admin_email = '';
5. ** Password protect your admin directory. Never leave your admin directory unprotected
in a public site, your whole directory could be erased!!
6. Give it a test! Go to: http://yourserver.com/...inks/admin/admin.cgi or wherever
you setup admin.cgi, and you should see the admin screen. Try (in this order):
1. Add a category.
2. Add a link in that category.
3. Build pages.
4. Search for the one link, using the new pages created.
5. Add a link from the new pages created.
6. Validate a link from admin.
If everything goes ok, you should be all done!
