Hi Adminbek!

When I try accessing the address given I get server could not be found.

So I added www in front of your address and I accessed your admin page which is unprotected.

Re: Can't find links.db In reply to
so, what do I have to do?

i didn't quite understand you.

http://inetsecurities.com/cgi-bin/links2/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi is my URL not a path.

by the way:
http://inetsecurities.com/cgi-bin/links2/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi
should work fine...

yes, i can access admin page, but I can't add a link or modify anything...

Hi Adminbek!

I then asked links to check your categories and this is what it said.

Quote:
unable to open /cgi-bin/links2/cgi-bin/admin/data/categories.db. Reason: No such file or directory

I would check the permissions on all your files. That what it appears to me to be the problem. No what I do it comes up with the same error different file. When I try a build it comes up with the following.

Quote:
rror including libraries: Can't locate /cgi-bin/links2/cgi-bin/admin/db_utils.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at nph-build.cgi line 31.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Hope that helps

Hi Adminbek!

Links generates it own index page called (if you have not changed the setting in links.cfg) index.html in the pages folder.

We use templates so to change anything on the index.html one changes the file called home.html in the templates folder. Then we do a rebuild and the changes appear on the index page.

Hope that helps.
