Users Can't add or modify links
Sorry if this was discussed before but i can't find the answer anywhere else.. I set up the links script and everything is working except the form where the users add and modify thier web pages.. It actually submits the link for validation but after I hit "add resource" it gets an Internal Server error..
I've checked all the files and they are chmoded correctly and a added /path/to/admin/links.cfg in all the cgi files.. but it's still not working.. can anyone help or point me to a thread or FAQ that deals with this problem ????

thanks,
Matt

As the README file states in the trouble shooting section:

1) Check to make sure that the Perl path is correct.
2) Make sure that the CGI scripts are CHMOD 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

Now...the problem could also be associated with the wrong configurations in the $db_mail_path or $db_smtp_server variables (depending if you use SENDMAIL or SMTP) in the links.cfg. Double check these variables to make sure they are correct.

Also, check to make sure that your validate.db file is set to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

Also, check the syntax of the scripts:

Code:

perl -c add.cgi


Then post the syntax errors you receive.
