Ok I have managed to get Links running perfectly from the administrative point of view and my hosts have finally managed to password protect the admin directory. However if I access the site from the web as a normal user would and try to use the script functions:-

Add a site
Search
Email updates
RateIt

or when trying to access a link, I get the following error messages:

Error including libraries: Can't locate e:/XXXXXXX/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl in @INC (@INC contains: e:\XXXXXXX\cgi-bin\links c:/perl/lib c:/perl/site/lib .) at e:\find-a-freebie\cgi-bin\links\rate.cgi line 31.

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

All the messages are similar although they refer to different cgi files, the common theme is that they can't find db_utils.pl

Is it permissions or have I made a silly mistake somewhere!

As always many thanks in advance.
Paul

Struggling! But getting there (I think?)
