Hi Alex I have been recently speaking with Paul about pathname problems and where to place scripts;

I modified links.cfg and have the following paths;
# Paths and URL's to Important Stuff
# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/web/au/org/distss/www/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.distss.org.au/cgi-bin/links/admin";

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

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/web/au/org/distss/www/docs/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.distss.org.au/pages";

# 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";

Error including libraries: Can't locate /db.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /web/au/org/distss/www/cgi-bin/links/admin /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /web/au/org/distss/www/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi line 28.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

I felt like I was geeting somewhere yesterday but now I am just more confused about what I need to do and how to achieve it.

I want to update using links a hot links page
eg. EDUCATION
htmllink. Then a description
INDUSTRY
htmllink. Then a description
Then I want to create a files uploaded screen. The user uploads a file and it with its description etc displayed. I know I can use links for this but I dont know how to implement it using links. I have only been using links for about a week and desperately need your help. I have a client on my back a deadlines are tight. Your advice will be invaluable.

Thanks
