admin.cgi Duplication...
Ok, now I know this post may have been posted already, I saw one in this forum on the same topic, but it didn't answer what I needed help with.

Ok, I got everything working, scripts calling, even the nph files working on a Cobalt raQ 4.. But, my main problem is creating a Category / Link. When I go the create a link, I fill in the form, press submit, and wait. After seconds of waiting, the admin.cgi main page re-opens inside the frame. So, now I have two sets of frames, and no created category or link.

Also, in the add.cgi, public addition for links, I cannot add a link, but that is probably because there are no categories yet...

I don't have the admin directory pass protected yet, so if you could help by trying it out, please do:

http://www.rgnetwork.com/linklist/admin/admin.cgi

Hope there is a simple answer to this... :)

Thank You very much in advance,
Sean

Check the $db_script_path and $db_admin_url in the links.cfg file. The error means that you have not set both or either of these variables correctly.

That is correct. READ the README file that states how you test the scripts.

Here's what I have for the paths and URL's. I couldn't find $db_admin_url in links.cfg, either.

---------

# Paths and URL's to Important Stuff
# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/home/sites/www.rgnetwork.com/web/linklist/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://rgnetwork.com/linklist/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://rgnetwork.com/linklist";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/home/sites/www.rgnetwork.com/web/linklist";
$build_root_url = "http://rgnetwork.com/linklist";

# 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";
