Can't get admin.cgi to work on NT
I am a newbie though pretty computer literate. But on Windows 2000 server with ActivePerl 5.6.0.616 I can not get anything to work including the admin.cgi . Other perl scripts are working, and I have the permissions wide open for testing. Here is the applicable sections of my links.cfg:

# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "D:/wwwsotr/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.sotr.org/cgi-bin/links/admin";

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

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "D:/wwwsotr/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.sotr.org/pages";


I have edited the top of each cgi and perl script to have:

#!c:\Program files\perl\bin\perl.exe

I have seen the earlier post and added the line in the admin.cgi:

require "D:/wwwsotr/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg";

Any other ideas? I am quite desperate to get this going and then want to buy the license version. But need to get it going first.
