Have you checked that the following is correct in links.cfg?
# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing slash.
$build_root_path = "/alex/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://localhost/links/pages";
Make sure that you use the absolute path given by your ISP/Web host. Also, Links 2.0 does not build the home page in your root directory by default; you'll have to apply a MOD for that.
