I have put a index.html in the admin/pages directory and it is chmoded 755. Why is it not reading it?
Any help whatsoever will be appreciated. Thank you

You don't want Links 2.0 to build your pages in a directory below your cgi-bin because it won't work correctly!

You need html pages in a directory off your root other than cgi-bin.

eg. /home/username/username-www/pages/index.html

Edit the path in links.cfg

...now try!

I did that and linked to the folder links.
the folder links is before cgi-bin in the heriarchy
still the same thing
Even tried to put on the full path of the index.html on the server.

In links.cfg alter the path for pages to be built to:

your_root_directory/pages
ie: /home/username/username-www/pages

Create the folder called pages and chmod to 777.

Try building again!
