This baffels (sic) me. I've uploaded, installed and used links before (about a year ago) and it worked fine. I've tried to do it again at another domain (same webhosting company) and can't get it to work. I've done everything (down to the letter I think, including setting the permissions) and still can't get it to work. Anybody have an idea of what I might be doing wrong? Here's the error message:
