I sent you an email last week telling you I deleted the script, Well I got the nerve to try again and it still does not work.
There are alot of undefined directions in the script aswell as the readme file.
I have included my links.cfg file below.
(1).What about the permissions? there are other folders and files under the admin folder that are not specified in the readme.
(2).Where in the script do you specify this info?....
Upload the cascading style sheet: links.css and the background image
to the directory where you want the pages created.
Begin links.cfg
