Ciao to everybody from Italy.
Ciao *Elliot* you are my idol [....]

I have a rare problem with Links 2.0 : I successfully installed it and runned for 6 days.

When I tryed to ADD a Link from the admin panel (link 186) I received that error.

I checked everything : is apparently ok.
I did nothing after the 1st running.

WHAT'S THAT ???

Thanks to everybody for the contribution in resolving this big question.

Alex

Most likely a permission problem with your database files or with your admin.cgi file.

I would recommend turning on the cgierr message, so that you can get more information about the Error rather than a simple Internal Server Error.

To turn on the de-bugging mode, simply un-comment the following line of codes in your admin.cgi script:


Remove the # sign.

So, the codes should look like the following:

Hmmm...Do you have the db.pl file uploaded in your $db_lib_path directory? The problem I see is that there is problem in validating the records and the script seems to not be finding the appropriate subs in the db.pl file.

***Elliot...

I have that file in the right path with right permissions....

The most strange thing is that - anyway - the software runned for more than 5 days !!!!

What do you think ?

Thanks for your genuine and professional help:
for me it is the right occasion to meet e *real* perl specialist.

Very honored.

Sincerely, Alex.

I would recommend contacting your hosting company and ask them if they have made any changes to your account.

Best of luck!

Ciao Elliot,

I re-installed links2 completely,
now I *only* have problems calling the main scripts ( subscribe.cgi, jump.cgi etc.... )

All other functions are available.

What does it mean ?

Thanks for your support.
Alex
