Upload a current COPY of your jump.cgi as a TEXT file in this thread...then we can look at the exact codes you are using.

The problem is with the following line of code:

Quote:

exit; # There are only two exit c~~~s in the script, here and in in &cgierr.


I've uploaded an edited jump.txt file that may work for you.

Change the file name to "jump" and file extension to "cgi".
========================================
Buh Bye!

Cheers,
Me

The problem is to do with the path to db.pl, what made you think it was the exit?

Paul is correct. My mistake and I apologize. The problem is with the tilda (~~) cleanup codes you added in the db_utils.pl file.

I would recommend reverting back to an older copy of db_utils.pl and then add the code hack again.

Hmm I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.

You agreed that it was to do with the wrong path but then you said:

The problem is with the tilda (~~) cleanup codes you added in the db_utils.pl file.

The ~~ has no consequence whatsoever as it is preceeded with a # meaning that anything proceeding is ignored.

I disagree, Paul. The error indicates that there is a problem in the db_utils.pl file, which is the file that this user hacked recently.

Buh Bye!

Read the error:

>>
Can't locate /home/sites/www.weightdirectory.com/users/web/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl
<<

Meaning jump.cgi can't locate db_utils.pl

What that has to do with tildas I don't know Smile

All he needs to do is change the path to db_utils.pl in jump.cgi to:

/home/sites/site30/web/cgi-bin/links/admin
