Hi all,

I am trying to move a working version of links2.0 from a windowsNT machine to a Linux box.
I did the following steps:
-uploaded all the files as ascii
-changed all the paths in all the scripts
-chmodded the directories to the correct values
-changed the IIS setting to 0

now the front-end is working fine, i can search and click links (jump.cgi), add links, etc.

But when i try to reach admin.cgi it gives me an error500

in the logfiles only the following appears:
[Sun Jun 3 15:54:20 2001] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /home/sprintweb/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi failed
[Sun Jun 3 15:54:20 2001] [error] [client 194.134.112.18] Premature end of script headers: /home/sprintweb/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi

I have been at this three hours and still no luck.
I have tried it on another machine (also Linux, Apache, etc.) and it works fine there, but i can't seem to find the difference between the two.


Only the one that isn't working is using a newer apache version (Apache 1.3.20)

Anyone has a suggestion?

thanx in advance



======================================

Do you have the path to perl correct?

Try running it from telnet.

Yes, perl path is correct.
When i run it from shell it says that i can't run this script from the shell,only from a browser, with all the debug-output.
But no real errors appear.

======================================

anyone any other suggestions?

======================================

I used to have an Cobalt RAQ web server and on one of these you need to make some changes for links to work right. There are lots of links in the forum documenting the changes needed. Check with your isp and see if you are on a Cobalt server.
Other wise you would probably better off to download a fresh copy of links and start over and just substitute your data bases for the original blank ones and your hit and rating files.

Finally i'm back from my holiday.
So back to this problem again...

In answer to the previous:
I am my own ISP :)
No Cobalt raq server.
Just Linux RedHat 7 on a nice dual PIII 800 with 1 Gig of memory, so i guess that shouldn't be the problem.

I am getting desperate here.. tried everything in the forum already..
Anyone ????
