This just doesn't make sense!!
I have two old Links 2.0 installations that I copied from my Unix machine to a Win2K/IIS 5/ActivePERL 5.1.6/631 server.

Both installations are located in the same CGI-BIN directory and both have the same file/folder permissions, etc., etc.

One of them works perfectly fine. The other will not add new links from the admin.cgi script although everything else including adding new categories works fine!

The error message I get is: 'e:\mlc\cgi-bin\docs_online\admin\admin.pl' script produced no output

I have tried everything I can think of:
1. gave Everyone, IUSR, IWAM, Administrators, SYSTEM, etc. FULL CONTROL of the entire docs_online folder and made sure that "Allow inheritable permissions ..." was selected. I know this is a major security risk, but I am getting desparate!
2. copied the entire admin folder and contents from the working version to the problem one and changed the settings in links.cfg
3. used full paths in all require statements
4. tried different path formats: backslashes, forward slashes, double backslashes, etc., etc.
5. tried/checked every thread on every forum in this site for ideas

Currently, I'm in the process of trying to install Links 2.0 from scratch.

Any ideas anyone?
