Admin.cgi still causing trouble :-/

Admin.cgi still causing trouble :-/
OK, i sorted out the first problem i had, now im getting the can't find db.pl message.

I have read through the other posts, and try so many variables but it still tries to download upon trying to access it.

I decided to specify the Absolute path in admin.cgi for links.cfg.

I visited my hosts website and it says :

If your cgi scripts require the absolute path to your website files this will need to be specified as :

/www.yourdomainname.com/

or

/usr/local/customer/virtualfp/www.yourdomainname.com/

===========
I have tried both without success, the links.cfg is located in www.yourdomainname.com/cgi-bin/admin/links.cfg
(yourdomainname.com just being the example)

But still the errors appear.

Thanks if anyone can help.

The absolute path is not a URL. It is the absolute path to you directories. If you are trying to find the absolute path to your cgi-bin, read my previous post on your message http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...apsed&sb=5[/red]. The absolute path should look something like this...
/usr/local/customer/virtualfp/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg (remember no trailing slash)!
