When I try the build all link I get a page not found error. What can cause this and how do I fix it?

correction: I get a cannot find server, the page cannot be displayed error.

If your server does not allow NPH files to be executed via your web browser, then use the NPH FAQs in the Resource Center to fix your problems.

Ok I fixed the previous problem. Here is what occurs when I use the build link now (I have tried both nph fixes from the resource center and I still get the following error):

Uh...in the README file...Do you see the section about changing directory and file permissions???

You need to change the /links/pages/ directory to 777 (rwxrwxrwx).

And refer to the README file for other directories that you need to change permissions and also the files (like in the /admin/data/ directory).

I got that to work. Now my user cgi scripts return a 500 Internal Server Error. What can I do to fix that?

Please search the forum more carefully...

*sigh*

Here are things to check for:

1) Make sure that the first line to the Perl path in the .cgi files is correct.

2) Make sure you have the correct ABSOLUTE path to the links.cfg file in each of your .cgi files.

3) Make sure that the .cgi files are set to 755 (rwxrwxrwx).
