LinksSQl install error

I'm trying to install the latest version and get following error, I checked the path and the file, it's everything there, but the error still occurs.
The installation was successful, I'm getting this error when I try to go to my admin:

http://www.mydomainname.de/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi

A fatal error has occured:

Links::Config (18554): Unable to compile 'cgi-bin/admin/Links/Config/Data.pm': No such file or directory. at Links.pm line 100.

You sure? ;)

cgi-bin/admin/Links/Config/Data.pm

...should be;

/cgi-bin/admin/Links/Config/Data.pm

I'd suggest re-installing, and making sure you have the / at the beginning of your paths, or else its looking for the library files locally, which won't exist (for obvious reasons).

Hope that helps.

Andy, thanks for the help but when I use "/" in front of cgi-bin and static directory, I'm getting the message

Could not make directory '/cgi-bin/': Permission denied

Could not make directory '/pages/': Permission denied

Could not make directory '/static/': Permission denied.

When using

CGI Path: cgi-bin
Build Path: pages
Static path: static

the installer is able to create the directories, but when I use

CGI Path: /cgi-bin
Build Path: /pages
Static path: /static

it won't work, of course because a directory can't contain "/" as directory name.

But when I don't use "/" the program won't find the files after installation.

There seems to be a problem with the installer trying to add a "/" to the directory name.

Just give it a try and you will see.

Tom

Hi,

They don't look like real full paths ;)

Should be something like;

/home/user/domain.com/cgi-bin/links/

... not just /cgi-bin/links.

Hope that helps :)

Any, it won't work I'm still getting the same error.
Is there a chance to define all the paths by hand?
Which files do I have to edit?

Do I have to edit
Links.pm and put the correct path to cgi-bin / static /pages
so Links.pm will be able to find Data.pm

cgi-bin/admin/Links/Config/Data.pm ?

Send over FTP details / database details, and I'll try and install it for you =) You can't just edit the files easily, as its all inter-linked between the files.

The best bet, is for a fresh install, with the correct paths.
