Having problem w/paths... I have only one CGI bin, it's not named cgi-bin It's just named cgi My problem getting links 2... is how to set up the paths. I can create another cgi-bin and I think it will probaably work... but where do I put everything? IE: www.mysite.com/? shold this be links or cgi-bin... Thanks, Gary

Many servers allow you to execute CGI/Perl scripts in any folder in your server, but since your server has a "cgi-bin" folder called cgi, then use that.
Your server path can be found by inputting the following command line via telnet:
pwd
When you get your FULL Path, use this and add cgi for your cgi variables (like $db_script_path in the links.cfg file. For relative paths, like with the url variables (like $build_root_url), you can use your domain address and then add a relative path like links/pages to it.
You should not build your pages in your cgi folder.
Hope this helps.
