Hi, I'm curious as to how you know the system page. The install says :

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";

The main thing is is that, my cgi-bin is not on my computer. I've installed cgi scripts before, so I do know somewhat what I'm doing, I've just never had to use this. Thank you for your time.

IHO, this instruction is misleading. here is what you should do. get the path to your cgi-bin on your server. If you don't know it, ask your host. It should look something like



the URL would then look like



then create your links directory underneath the cgi-bin

that path will look like



Load your add.cgi, modify.cgi, search.cgi,. etc to the links folder

Create you admin directory under the links folder. and load the db.pl, db_utils.pl, site_html.pl, etc to this folder

and so on...
