Unable to add categories after installing Links 2.2 on UNIX.
Hi, Your help will be very much appreciated.
Last night, I installed Links 2.2 on a UNIX virtual server under the Apache web server. I have my own cgi-bin directory into which I installed the files as directed, and I do have permissions to create scripts and use SSI with my virtual host. Other scripts do function on my site. Anyhow, after installing as directed and logging into my admin panel, I am not able to add categories. After entering a category name and description, and pressing Submit, I am constantly told that the name field has an invalid format, regardless of what I put in that field. I have followed the directions to the best of my ability and checked my work. Have I done something wrong? Anyone else had and solved this problem?
Thanks again for any help you can provide.
Regards.

If you are adding more than one word for your categories, make sure they are in the following format:

Read_The_ReadMe_File

For subcategories, you would do something like the following:

ReadMe_Files/Do_Help

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for the help and the admonition to read the readme files more completely. The file I had read was the installation instructions. Regards.
