Installation Problem: Admin.cgi can't find the scripts!
Hi!
I am quitenew to the world of CGI and Perl. I am trying to install Links at my Virtual Ave account (imemily.virtualave.net), but I keep running into error messages! For example, when trying to run admin.cgi, I would get an error message saying that it could not find links.cgi, etc. I was able to solve the first few by changing the path names (by simply making the requirement "links.cgi"), and I arrived at the Links Administration page. When I try to click the links, however, I get the following error message.

********************************************************

How can I fix it? If you would like to see any of my scripts they are under the directory
http://imemily.virtualave.net/cgi-bin/links/admin/
or I can post whatever you need to see here. I would also appreciate any additional information about similar installation problems. Thanks!
