I've got links going now, but when I click on a link in my browser, it tries to 'jump' then asks if I want to download JUMP.CGI!!!!

If I do this, the error message displayed is:

Error including libraries: Can't locate admin/links.cfg in @INC (@INC contains: /home/travel/cgi-bin/links /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /home/travel/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi line 34.

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

MY links.cfg is located on /home/travel/public_html/links/admin/links.cfg
whereas my cgi files are in home/travel/cgi-bin/links/*.cgi

in links.cfg the path to the admin direcotry is correct (i have built all my files OK), as admin/links.cfg

What is wrong!!!!

Make sure that your require line for the links.cfg file in the jump.cgi looks like the following:

Already set!

PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/home/travel/public_html/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.travel-experiences.com/links/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.travel-experiences.com/cgi-bin/links";

I have the cgi files within my cgi-bin, and the admin dir. in the public_html area under a subdir of links/admin.

The permissions for the cgi's are all 755 (NONE OF THE cgi-bin SCRIPTS WORK!!!)

Ben

Well, then you have to put the /cgi-bin/ as part of the following variables:

It seems that some very obvious facts are often overlooked.

Howabout (alex) making a list of all the files, with all the permissions listed. For examplem you said that all *.pl files should be set to 644. It says that *nowhere* in the readme file included with links.

And there could be a better common problems file, made from common posts on this forum??

Perhaps this would cut down on the duplicate posts?
