I have tried out the mod at:
http://enscript.com/free/links2alpha.html

Did everything correctly, double checked everything, but when i go into my admin panel and do build all, i get an error:
"The page cannot be displayed"

Does anyone know how i can fix this? Or is there another mod that will let my vistors search using something similar?

1) Check your server error logs.
2) Check the synatx of the nph-build.cgi script via telnet:

I dont have access to telnet. Is there any other way to check the syntax?

Try this, but I'm not sure if it will work

Create a script called syntax.cgi with the following code

Then upload to your server and run from your browser.

Not sure if it will work. Basically it will execute that telnet command via a script. Its worth a try

I asked for telnet and they gave me details. I type in
perl -c /path/links/admin/nph-build.cgi
got a no file or dir found
so, i went to the dir, did "perl -c nph-build.cgi"
And it gave me the following


bash$ perl -c nph-build.cgi
syntax error at nph-build.cgi line 765, near "'z')"
Unmatched right curly bracket at nph-build.cgi line 770, at end of line
syntax error at nph-build.cgi line 770, near "; }"
nph-build.cgi had compilation errors.
bash$

I went to the location and found a whole lot of unformatted text which i copy/pasted from the tutorials site. I'll do line for line now and tell you how i go.

Booya!

Thanx i got it working =P



Although now i want the links to be categorized using a new field in my links.def which i enterd (working). The field is called "artist" how do i replace my "artist" field which the "Title" field it is currently sorting.

Thanx in advance

I checked every line but still can't get it to build, any help
