Hi u all !

Uploaded the glinks great, no problem...
Tried to start working it :

Dynamic work okay : http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?d=1

Static do not work (error 403) http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/static/

Other error 403 http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/pages/

I already set a Admin Password but it is not working :

Gossamer Links Administration Panel
Warning: It appears that the admin directory has not yet been password protected. If you are on an Apache server, you can do it directly from the admin, otherwise you should contact your ISP to protect this directory.
Thank you for choosing Gossamer Threads, Inc. and our Gossamer Links script.
This is your Admin Panel. It gives you full control over every aspect of your Links database.

???? what went wrong ???
Thanks for all help

Hi,

You most probably didn't specify the correct paths when you were installing because you shouldn't have your static pages in the cgi-bin, that will not work.

You can check this by going into your admin panel in Setup > Path and URL Settings and looking for the value of "build_root_url".

The admin panel password issue is maybe to do with the fact that your httpd.conf file (server configuration file) hasn't been set-up to allow for password protection (.htaccess).

Hope this helps,

Hi Jag !
Thanks for the prompt reply.

"You most probably didn't specify the correct paths when you were installing"
Well to tell the truth I specified nothing since the installation process did it on is own (choose the path )

Okay I go see and check ....

Thanks again...

Hi,

To give you an idea if you had say http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi for the dynamic pages you could have http://www.mysite.com/directory or even http://www.mysite.com if you wanted the pages to appear directly on the home page.

In the admin panel or during set-up you could have the following :

admin_root_url would be http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/admin

db_cgi_url would be http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin

and build_root_url could be http://www.mysite.com/pages
or http://www.mysite.com/directory

If you do have things set-up differently you will most probably find it easier to simply re-install while taking the above differences into account.

Have a nice week-end.

Hi Jag,

Well that's were I get lost, looking at the admin panel I have all set right ??!!

admin_root_url : http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/admin
admin_root_path : /home/webadmin/mysite.com/cgi-bin/admin

db_cgi_url : http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin

build_root_url : http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/pages
build_root_path : /home/webadmin/mysite.com/cgi-bin/pages

Have a nice week end too

Olivier

It's the last part that isn't correct :

build_root_url : http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/pages
build_root_path : /home/webadmin/mysite.com/cgi-bin/pages

should not have the cgi-bin part

For example :

build_root_url : http://www.mysite.com/pages
build_root_path : /home/webadmin/mysite.com/pages

also make sure you chmod the pages folder to 777 so that Links can create the pages there and that is also where the images will be installed...
