Installation Problems/Questrion
Hello,
I have installed the Links script and all the admin functions work correctly, however, I cannot add, modify, subscribe, etc. From the top of any of hte script created pages. (ie what the user would see).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Scott
My Links script is at http://www.desert-storm.com/cgi-bin/links/pages

Paths or permissions, or uploaded in binary.

Mark,
I've double-checked the paths, permissions, and I eve re-uploaded in ASCII. Still get the 500 server error.

Make sure the first line of each script is pointing to the same location for perl as your admin.cgi script is.

Please post the first 5 paths/urls in your links.cfg file.

Code:
# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.desert-storm.com/cgi-bin";

According to that setting, this is the location of your user accessible scripts (add.cgi, search.cgi, etc.). Yet, your links on your home page point to:

Quote:
http://www.desert-storm.com/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi

They don't agree as to location.

I hope this helps.
