Hi,

Can anyone help me with this?

What am I failing to see/understand?

error message

Error including libraries: syntax error at /home/mysite/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg line 212, near "$db_links_name "

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Much appreciated

Thank you

$db_script_path should look like:

$db_script_path=/home/mysite/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/

Actually, the "correct" configuration for $db_script_path var would be:

$db_script_path = "/home/mysite/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/";

which should be located towards the top of the links.cfg file.

If you use the codes that esm provided, your script will continue to crap out.

Buh Bye!

yep, I added the $db_script_path= at the last moment and didn't add the correct syntax. My bad.
