Index/Homepage
I would like my opening page on my website to be the first page of links but am not sure how to do this. also I would like to have the opening page be the page opened when clicking on any "home" link within links. Can someone give me clue as how to do this?

Re: Index/Homepage In reply to
1) You need to change the following variables in your links.cfg:

Code:
# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/path/to/root";
$build_root_url = "http://www.mydomain.com";

Change /path/to/root to the ABSOLUTE PATH to your root directory. Change http://www.mydomain.com/ to whatever your web site address (URL) is.

2) Then you will have to delete all pages in the links/pages directory.

3) Create a blank index.shtml or index.html (based on the extension you specified in the links.cfg file) and upload it to your root directory. Change the permission of this file to 777 (rwxrwxrwx).

4) Create the new, cool, and ratings directory off your ROOT directory. Change the permission of these directories to 777 (rwxrwxrwx).

5) Rebuild your directory.

Voila...Now you have your LINKS pages generated off your root directory.

BTW: This has been discussed more than once in the LINKS Modification Forum.
