I'm not quite surr what to do now... I've followed all of the steps carefully,
all non .cgi files and directories are 777 (except those that are 666 or 755).
When I run admin.cgi I get this error



CGI ERROR

(more info on my sever follows this jibber jabber )

I checked line 55 which is this:


$in{'db'} ?


(Here is the code chunk that this line comes form:

# Load the database definition file and set the link url.
$in{'db'} ?
require "$db_lib_path/$in{'db'}.def" :
require "$db_lib_path/links.def";

$db_script_link_url = "$db_script_url?db=$in{'db'}"; )

Now what... should that question mark be there or what?
