Verifying error!
Hi

I am in the process of setting up links and I have managed to get all of the modules to operate correctly other than the verify element. Everytime I run it I get the following error:-

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : error in verify_links. unable to open db file: ./data/links.db. Reason: No such file or directory
Script Location : e:\find-a-freebie\cgi-bin\links\admin\nph-verify.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

I have altered nph-verify.cgi and admin.cgi to reflect the full path of links.cfg (at least I believe I have!)and the data/links.db file definately does exist(as does the links.db.bkp).

I have also checked the path in links.cfg to the database script path which is in my admin directory and all appears (to me!) ok:-

$db_script_path = "e:/localhost/cgi-bin/links/admin";

Would this not cause other problems if this was incorrect?

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can progress from here? It really would be appreciated.

regards
Paul

Struggling! But getting there (I think?)
