Add.cgi?
Hi,

I've been lurking for a few days as I've been trying to install the script on my RAQ server. There's some great trouble shooting tips here for RAQs! I was so happy to see that.

However, I'm now experiencing a problem I didn't see addressed in any of the threads I read--and I did try to search for similar problems. Everything seems fine with the script, it's not returning any errors or anything, but when I try to add a link via the add.cgi it just loops and nothing happens. It doesn't give me an error if I don't fill out the form, and it doesn't store the data if I do fill out the form.

Any ideas? Or if this has already been addressed and I'm just blind, if you could link to the thread...
I know some folks who have used the script and who were helping me, but they didn't have this problem :)

Thanks so much!
Amy

I can do that! Sorry, wasn't sure if the URL would help or not, since it's not returning any errors or anything like that:

http://www.idealistshaven.com/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi

Thanks!
Amy

I'm not sure, but it may have something to do with the button. It doesn't appear to have any name.

Try;

<input type="SUBMIT" name="Submit" value="Add Resource">

Andy that has nothing to do with it - try looking at a default add.html.

Right, got it, try using for the form action;

<form action="http://www.idealistshaven.com/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi" method="POST">

It has something to do with the missing www Smile

on most servers you can eliminate the http://www.idealistshaven.com part and just use <form action="/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi" method="POST"> this is a good way to do this because if you change servers you don't have to change this for the new server.
