I'm starting admin for the first time:

Here is my links.cfg file:

Why have you been messing with the date routines?
You'll find that line 184 reads:
Code:
my = 0;
Happy Coding,

Also, if you read Hypermarts TOS it says that you can't run directory scripts on their server as it consumes too much CPU power and Bandwidth! Frown
