You need to have the sub-domain address in the $build_root_url variable in the links.cfg file.

Also, you have to use the sub-domain absolute path in your $build_root_path in the links.cfg file.

And you have to do the same for the $db_script_path variable.

YOU do not have the complete ABSOLUTE path to your sub-domain directory in the following variables:

Code:
$db_script_path
$build_root_path

I have exactly the same problem with virtualave.net.

my links.cfg file has these settings.

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/home/internetevim/public_html/cgi-bin/links2/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://internetevim.virtualave.net/cgi-bin/links2/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://internetevim.virtualave.net/cgi-bin/links2";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/home/internetevim/public_html/links2/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://internetevim.virtualave.net/links2/pages";

I have everything working, my searc and adding links etc, buşind pages and all is fine, but the one and only problem is that if you click on the "Home" or "What's New" or What's Cool" links on any of my pages it tries to go to the index page cause the url states "http://internetevim.virtualave.net/links2/pages/......" but it cannot find the index.html file there so than suddenly "http://s26.virtualave.net/links2/pages/" comes with "404" error. if only I could make it find index.html file everything will be fine.

As far as I know, and I've been on VirtualAve for 3 years, whenever there is no trailing forward slash (/), your subdomain name will be replaced with your machine name. All you've got to do to make sure it doesn't do that is to add a / to the urls in the templates.
