Hosting and Verio & Concentric Host
Have someone try to install Link 2.0 at Verio or Concentric Host?

I am trying to install a copy and it is imposible to make it work.

Have you thoroughly checked the online document at Concentric or the re-selling company to see if they support the server resources that LINKS needs to run properly?

That should be your first step before even installing LINKS.

I just did that Eliot. They told me so also.
But the writing problem continues...

Thanks for all..

I will change provider.. Links will not be the only script I will install there and I cannot be with that kind of restriction.

Verio have all I need to install Links as I see in the documentation.
I try everything on a NT Account on Verio..
I wrote to them and they told me that for security reason no directory (nor cgi-bin) have permission to write on the server.. I have it installed and working OK but because I upload a database of links and category...If I try to enter more links through the form it give me an access denied error. The same if I update the databases.

NT is a bear to use in terms of cgi scripts. It can be done. Since your hosting company has restricted WRITE capabability in the cgi-bin...put all your data, hits, rating, and backup files and directories in directories outside of the links cgi-bin directory. Then re-map the files in the links.cfg file.

This will solve your problems.

That would be best...Of course your other option is to use ASP pages with your NT account. And there is an ASP version of LINKS....

Go here:

www.freeasp.com

If you have a good understanding of Visual Basics or Perl, you should have no problem with ASP scripting.

Yes I know about that version.
I have wrote several email to the author requestion info about the SQL version.
But not answer yet...

I really prefer a SQL or MS Access Link Indexer... Do you know another ASP Search Engine?
