did that a while ago...read the other posts...but still same problem....i think the problem is coming from the permissions. the readme tells us the permissions on the data directory, cgi files, templates, but it doesnt tell us the permissions on the other files like the .pl ; .css ; .def ; .pm ; etc.... what are the permissions for them as well as the other files/folders that werent mentioned in the readme?

All those other files should be 644 (rw-r--r--).
All cgi files should be 755 (rwxr-xr-x).
Here are the permissions you need for the directories:
cgi-bin/links/ - 755 (drwxr-xr-x)
cgi-bin/links/admin - 755 (drwxr-xr-x)
cgi-bin/links/admin/data - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
cgi-bin/links/admin/data/hits - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
cgi-bin/links/admin/data/rates - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
cgi-bin/links/backups - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
links/pages/ - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
links/pages/Cool - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
links/pages/Detailed - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
links/pages/New - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
links/pages/Ratings - 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
That should do it. I believe these are all noted in the README file.
