Add site link
Hi all
I am very new to this but I have managed to get it working (after about a week) my problem is the links to add/modify site, random link and search give me a "page cannot be displayed message" I have browsed through the previous messages (to page 16) and cannot find a solution I,ve checked my 2 site html.pl files and they seem ok. I have a feeling it is something on the links.cfg could somebody please help me out on this. I have not altered anything on this section (maybe this is where I am going wrong)


# Extra Paths -- unless you feel the need to rename files, you
# can leave this as is.
# -------------------------------------------------------------
$db_script_url = $db_dir_url . "/admin.cgi"; # Admin script.
$db_header_path = $db_script_path . "/header"; # Place to store header and footers.
$db_footer_path = $db_script_path . "/footer";
$build_search_url = $db_cgi_url . "/search.cgi"; # URL of search script.
$build_add_url = $db_cgi_url . "/add.cgi"; # URL of add script.
$build_modify_url = $db_cgi_url . "/modify.cgi"; # URL of modify script.
$build_jump_url = $db_cgi_url . "/jump.cgi"; # URL of jump script.
$build_email_url = $db_cgi_url . "/subscribe.cgi"; # URL of email update script.
$build_rate_url = $db_cgi_url . "/rate.cgi"; # URL of rate script.
$db_mail_url = $db_dir_url . "/nph-email.cgi"; # URL of admin mass mail script.
$build_css_url = $build_root_url . "/links.css"; # URL to your CSS file.

$db_lib_path = $db_script_path; # PATH of library files.
$db_links_name = "$db_script_path/data/links.db"; # PATH to links database.

$db_links_id_file_name = "$db_script_path/data/linksid.txt"; # PATH to links counter file.
$db_category_id_file_name = "$db_script_path/data/categoryid.txt"; # PATH to category counter file.

$db_template_path = "$db_script_path/templates"; # PATH to templates.
$db_rates_path = "$db_script_path/data/rates"; # PATH to ratings.
1;

-----------------------------
this is how I have got the rest of it to work

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path ="/host/w/w/w/b/a/c/www.backpackingmall.com/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.backpackingmall.com/cgi-bin/links/admin";

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

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/host/w/w/w/b/a/c/www.backpackingmall.com/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.backpackingmall.com/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";

thanks in advance for any help (please bear in mind I know nothing about CGI)
