404 error on Rate.pl & .cgi

404 error on Rate.pl & .cgi
I've got everything working with one tiny exception. When trying to rate links using the following link:

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/links/rate.pl?ID=101

I get a 404 File not found error. When I go through the admin panel to the http://www.mysite.com/directory/Ratings/index.html, I can see where there are sites WITH ratings.

This is probably due to a problem with a template? I've even tried different templates and every one gives the same error.

Any help with finding this problem will be appreciated. I get so frustrated when it comes down to the last tiny problem.... two days of staring at these templates is making me bonkers!

Why not use FTP or something to LOOK in the /cgi-bin/links directory to see if rate.pl actually EXISTS there.

Why are you calling it rate.pl?

OK....so it was named rate.cgi. I renamed it and am now getting a completely different error. It's a blank page with Unkown Tag: title

Any idea where this comes from?

It's called rate.pl because that is how the template calls it. I tried changing the template but ran into a completely new set of problems so I left it at rate.pl

It seemed the simplest solution.

Your tag in rate.html is wrong it should be <%Title%> not <%title%>

(this was discussed quite recently in the forum).

That worked...thank you. Guess that serves me right for downloading templates from the forum.

I did several searches on rate 404 error and variations and couldn't find anything that applied to my situation.

Sorry to have bothered you.

No problem, any tags referring to link info should always be the same as defined in links.def (they're case sensitive). eg. in link.html. <%description%> will not work where as <%Description%> will.
