path error or error 404
My domain name is www.webs4biz.com. Have tried everyting I can think of to get this running! Below is info from my server:

If you have a custom CGI script that you need to use, simply upload it to your personal cgi directory. Here are some helpful tips to follow when installing Perl scripts:

  1. Upload to your cgi directory and ensure proper file permission settings
  2. Upload in ASCII transfer mode (NOT BINARY mode)
  3. The first line of each script must read:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

  4. Reference the script using /cgi (NOT /cgi-bin)



If a script calls another file within your account, but the script does NOT require a URL, you need to use the system path.

/home/<userid>/HTML/... <- if the file is in your website root directory
/home/<userid>/HTML/cgi/... <- if the file is in your cgi directory

Substitute the path to the file beginning with your userid. Your userid is the directory name of your account

Do I need to change the path for perl? I tried that with no luck...also have triple checked permissions. the only confusion might be where to put everything. This is how I set things up:

# Paths and URL's to Important Stuff
# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/home/webs4biz/HTML/cgi/links2/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.webs4biz.com/cgi/links2/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.webs4biz.com/cgi";
# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/home/webs4biz/HTML/cgi/links2/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.webs4biz.com/cgi/links2/pages";
