Boiler Plate

I’ve read the readme.txt (I believe that this is a great part of the problem) checked all the permissions, read the FAQ, and have searched the threads, and all files were loaded using ASCII!…. I still just don’t get it.

The when I log my path is as follows

/mnt/web/guide/zone3

In the directory zone3, resides my cgibin and a file named www where all html files are stored.

In the folder /mnt/web/guide/zone3/cgibin… I created the folder, links.

In that folder I uploaded the entire folder/dir admin along with following cgi files; rate, search and subscribe.

The links.cfg file is as follows:

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/mnt/web/guide/zone3/cgibin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://zone3.org/cgibin/links/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://zone3.org/cgibin/links";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://zone3.org/www/links/";

# 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";

What have I done incorrectly? When I perform the test as per the readme.txt file ( go to: http://yourserver.com/cgi-bin (original spelling)/links/admin/admin.cgi I get a “page can not be displayed message.

Thank for your hopeful patients
