I originally posted this on the installation directory but this directory seems busier. I apologize for the double post but I am 'motivated' to finish this asap and am hoping I can get my answers before the weekend.

Hi. I am currently trying desperately to fix the final few details to get this link page up an running. I don't know Perl so if you would take that into account in your answer I would appreciate it.
The page is currently at http://www.vbexplorer.com/links/

The | What's New | What's Cool | Top Rated | links do not seem to be using the templates I created. I modified all the templates and they all seem to be used except for these three. I saw the other post on links.cfg but it wasn't answered. Here are the current settings

# Paths and URL's to Important Stuff
# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "F:/users/vbexplor/www/htdocs/links/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.vbexplorer.com/links/cgi-bin/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.vbexplorer.com/links/cgi-bin";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "F:/users/vbexplor/www/htdocs/links";
$build_root_url = "http://www.vbexplorer.com/links";

# PATH and URL of What's New page. No Trailing slash.
$build_new_path = "$build_root_path/New";
$build_new_url = "$build_root_url/New";

# PATH and URL of What's Cool page. No Trailing slash.
$build_cool_path = "$build_root_path/Cool";
$build_cool_url = "$build_root_url/Cool";

# PATH and URL of What's Rating page. No Trailing slash.
$build_ratings_path = "$build_root_path/Ratings";
$build_ratings_url = "$build_root_url/Ratings";

The other question is that I deleted the test links in the database using the admin interface yet if I go to 'What's New' they are still listed. Not sure if there is something else I need to do to kill them just wanted to be sure that I wasn't going to end up with a lot of 'phantom' links dragging down the database.

Sounds like you're seeing old pages for one of two reasons:

1) Browswer cache problem

2) Are you using "Build Staggered" to do the build? I used to have problems (on an old server that always timed out on "build all") with the staggered build not updating some of the pages, similar to what you describe.

Thanks for your reply. For some reason it works fine now. I guess it may have been a cache problem -pretty sure I reloaded the page- but the main thing is it works now. Thanks a lot.

You're welcome, and thank you for not pointing out my garbled spelling of "browser."
