When I tried to execute any CGI file, the following message came up. (this is for admin.cgi)

Error including libraries: Can't locate /htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/home/console/subdomains/rpghwy/htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /usr/home/console/subdomains/rpghwy/htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi line 28.
Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

I'm quite sure all my files are uploaded properly, what did I do wrong?

Hi

Looks like a path has been set wrong somewhere. Try opening admin.cgi and set the full path to links.cfg. Open links.cfg and check your paths at the top of the file

Good Luck

I've tried that before, but no use... same results.

Hi

I still think its your paths, they appear a little short at the start, there is usually more folders try the following script, change the first line to your perl path. FTP it to you admin directory, chmod to 777 and then call the script from your browser eg

http://www.yourdomain.com/links/cgi-bin/admin/scriptname.cgi

this will give you all the path names you need.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";


my $directory=$ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'};

my $dir=substr ($directory,0, -10);

my $root_dir=$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};

my $base_dir=$ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'};

my $base_dir=substr ($base_dir,0, -10);

It's still not working, but I think I know what did I do wrong, thanks for your help.
