Please help installing Links v2.0
I installed link v2.0 and intalled it per the directions on the readme file. I changed the locations of perl program to #!/usr/bin/perl from the default location. Upload all the files in the cgi-bin directory in ASCII format. Schmod all the .cgi files 755 and the others 777 and 666 as explained in the installation file. However, when I run to run it by calling up admin.cgi, I get a error message saying "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

Can some one please help.

The better forum to ask these types of questions is in the Installation Forums.

That error means that you have a syntax error in your admin.cgi file. If you have access to telnet and you are on a UNIX server, you can use the following command lines to check the syntax of this file:

1) Connect to your cgi-bin directory where your admin.cgi file is located:

Code:
cd cgi-bin/links/

2) Check the syntax of the file:

Code:
perl -c admin.cgi

Hope this helps.
