Can't open admin.cgi, syntax error
Hi,

I'm stumped. Maybe I'm supposed to add the date format somewhere. If so, please tell me how to add the default. I'm no newbie to configuring cgi scripts, but this is making my stoopy! LOL. Please help. I am pasting my error message:

Error including libraries: syntax error at links.cfg line 156, near "my %months = map { $_ => $i++ } qw!Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul A"
(Might be a runaway multi-line AA string starting on line 138)
Unmatched right bracket at links.cfg line 169, at end of line
syntax error at links.cfg line 169, near "}"

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.


Thanks for your time, love the script!
Brenda

What hacks have you applied in the links.cfg file?

Hello Eliot,

Thanks for your reply. I just opened my email for the first time today and found that I got a reply.
I worked on the script most of the day. I started over on the links.cfg file with the fresh file and it worked fine. Apparently it somehow first got corrupted when I opened it with wordpad instead of textpad.
Once I took the fresh file and configured it I had no problems. I've just been re-editing the template files to my liking.
I want to thank you for a great script. And also for your help.

Brenda Jackson
