Whenever I try to run admin.cgi I keep getting this message:
Error including libraries: Can't locate /html/cgi-bin/links/admin/db.pl blah blah blah at admin.cgi line 28.

I tried looking thru the FAQS and the other messages in the forum, but none of them seem to cover this problem.

Need Help,
Creed

Make sure that you have the complete absolute path to the directory where your library files (db.pl, db_utils.pl, and admin_html.pl) are located in the $db_script_path variable in the links.cfg file.

Heres a little clip from my links.cfg file:
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/html/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://hammer.prohosting.com/~swol/cgi-bin/links/admin";

Everything seems right in there, I'm just wondering if the problem could be somewhere else...

Cheers,
Creed

Uh...no...The error message indicates that the script is unable to locate the db.pl file, which is located in the $db_lib_path, WHICH is DEFINED by the $db_script_path.

Ok, so if the whole problem is in the links.cfg file, does that mean I might also have it chmoded wrong? Cause the script path is right.

Confused,
Creed

No..again the error message indicates that you do not have the FULL absolute path in the $db_script_path. Check with your hosting company to make sure you are using the correct one.

Waaaaaa....
I guess ProHosting isn't the greatest for cgi scripts?

Possibly not...If they do not provide technical support or online documentation on how to use their server resources, then you should consider switching hosting companies.

Best of luck!
