First, I've read almost every post on installing Links on NT and have had no luck. Maybe what I'm overlooking is very simple and someone here can help me get on my way....:)

Here's where I'm at:

I've installed ActivePerl 5.6... and from my little test of 'pert test.pl' at the command line....all looks well. From what I've read if the perl install is not working then nothing will, so if there are other tests that I should do to ensure that perl is in fact working, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Based on the readme, I've chosen not to follow his recommendation of his directory structure. I've kept the default structure which is "c:\links\cgi-bin\admin" etc etc.
I've edited the links.cfg file using the just mentioned path structure. I have IIS configured and my home directory is: "c:\links". Permission seem to be working fine. Everything looks good all for not being able to see a flipping thing when I goto: http://204.83.38.20/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi. :(

Am I supposed to change everything from .cgi to .pl?
I used the ip: 204.83.38.20 in links.cfg, is that bad?
Is there anything special I need to do in IIS? like a cgi association?
I've changed the require ' '; line in admin.cgi to explicitely point to links.cfg, still no luck, do I have to do this in every script?
When I was able to get a page displayed based on the above URL, I received this error: "Error including libraries: Can't locate c:inksi-bindmin/db.pl at c:\links\cgi-bin\admin\admin.cgi line 28.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.
"
Whats that? If I went into admin.cgi and changed one of the slashes from / to \ I'd get a different error, leading me to believe that there was a problem in this file. Where to start? no clue!


Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks in advance
