Re: Can't build index page In reply to

are u using templates? if so go to
links.cfg and check this line
$build_use_templates = 1;
it must be equal to one and if you are not using template then it must be equal to 0
i hope this helps

Actually, since the error message is saying that detailed building is not turned on, then that is not an error message. It is an informational message saying that the setting was checked, and the procedure was skipped because the setting is currently off.

If you want detailed building, check this in links.cfg:

Code:
# Detailed View: The script can build a single html page per link. This is  
# great if you have a review in your database. To enable, you must set 
# the directory where all the pages will be stored, the url to that directory 
# and set the enable option. 
    $build_detailed    = 0; 
    $build_detail_path = "$build_root_path/Detailed"; 
    $build_detail_url  = "$build_root_url/Detailed";

I hope this helps.

Hi i still cannot post my page, I don't understand what is the name of the directory i'm going to post to.

Is it something like that
$build_detail_url = "http://topfootie.hypermart.net/links";

Re: Can't build index page In reply to

Links uses $build_root_path to determine the directory where the pages will be built. The $build_root_url variable determines how the pages that are built are accessed from the web via a browser. They should correspond. For example, on my system I have:

Code:
    $build_root_path  = "/home/bobsie/web/goodstuff"; 
    $build_root_url   = "http://www.orphanage.com/goodstuff";

I hope this helps.

Now i get this error message:

Your browser sent a request that this server
could not understand.

Is there any other way I could edit the pages???

Thanks
