I just recently installed Links v1.1, and I got everything working fine. I went into the /cgi-bin/links/admin/index.html file, and I set-up a new category and site. Everything was fine, then I clicked on Build Pages, and I read down through the text, and I came across an error. On the /cgi-bin/links/index.html file, it said Permission Denied. Then I went there, and I got a 404 Error. I looked the zip file of the Links v1.1 and there was not an index.html file in the links directory. I have no idea what I should put in this page to get it to work. Can someone please tell me where we get the main index.html file for our Links script? Thanks a lot!

Links generates it on its own. Set the directory to chmod 777.

one more quick question, should the wipeout.cgi point to perl4 or perl5?

I don't think it matters whether perl 4 or 5, but you should always use 5.

The directory you are trying to delete.. is it a Links created directory, or did you create it yourself? If it was not Links created, then wipeout will not work, because when it runs, it runs as user nobody and will only be able to delete files created by user nobody (theoretically )
