No web pages
Hi Everyone I've finally THOUGHT I had the LInks 2.0 set up but I'm getting blank web pages when I go to this URL : http://www.smallbiztechnology.com/...linksadmin/admin.cgi I'm sure I have some paths screwed up but what's the file that controls this page?

Also I had to edit my admin.cgi file.

Look at links.cfg. There is a section on the admin URL and path. Find it, and look at your URL again.

You are missing and 'o' in smallbiztechnlogy Wink

All paths in links.cfg need to be full paths not relative.

My links cfg is as follows and I have path's where it says path and full URL's where it says full URL....

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/cgi-bin/links/linksadmin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.smallbiztechnology.com/...bin/links/linksadmin";

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

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/linkspages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.smallbiztechnology.com/linkspages";

# PATH and URL of What's New page. No Trailing slash.
$build_new_path = "$build_root_path/New";
$build_new_url = "$build_root_url/New";

# PATH and URL of What's Cool page. No Trailing slash.
$build_cool_path = "$build_root_path/Cool";
$build_cool_url = "$build_root_url/Cool";

# PATH and URL of What's Rating page. No Trailing slash.
$build_ratings_path = "$build_root_path/Ratings";
$build_ratings_url = "$build_root_url/Ratings";

You have to use full paths in your db_script_path and build_root_path:

/home/smallbiztechnology/public_html/cgi-bin/links/linksadmin

or similar.

I understand that and according to my ISP the "full relative" path is just the directory name...(see below). I'm a bit puzzled "What would be the full filepath for my directory? The filepath to a file in your directory would be simply the relative path to that file. For instance, if your home directory has a sub-directory called "cgi-bin", and cgi-bin contains a called "myfile.pl", you would reference "myfile.pl" as: "cgi-bin/myfile.pl". "

Bad host :)

Looks like your full path is:

/home/cgi-bin/links/linksadmin
