Hi, Okay........I did the search thing first but I cannot find the answer to my question. I just installed Links and I able to pull up the admin link no problems but when I click on "home page" I get a 403 error. I checked all the permissions over and over again. What did I do wrong?

Let me guess...you have specified your $build_root_path and $build_root_url in the links.cfg file inside your cgi-bin directory, like the following:
$build_root_path = "/absolute/path/to/cgi-bin/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/links/pages";
Right?
If so, you need to specify the "build" directory to be OUTSIDE your cgi-bin directory, like the following:
$build_root_path = "/absolute/path/to/ROOT/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/links/pages";
BTW: This HAS been discussed in the Links 2.0 Installation - UNIX and Links 2.0 Installation - Windows forums WHERE you should post questions like this, until you have successfully installed and configured ALL the Links scripts.
Here are a just a few Threads I found using 403 Error
in the keywords field, using And search option, searching
