Installation Problem
Hey,

I am having a problem after installation.

http://hiphopgateway.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi

try adding a category and link and see what happens?

It main admin page (frames and all) right into the main frame page..

I was thinking this was a security measure because the directory is not protected.. but i dont think so..

Can anyone please help me?

p.s. has anyone else noticed that in the installation process and the scripts they switch between installing it in /cgi/links and /links/cgi that should be fixed to clear up confusion. :)

YES.. they do..

1. Unzip the distribution and you should see two directories cgi-bin
and pages. Upload everything in cgi-bin in ASCII mode to a directory
on your server that can run cgi. For example, I recommend creating a
directory called links off your cgi-bin. You'll end up with a structure
like:
/cgi-bin/links - User cgi like search.cgi, add.cgi, etc.
/cgi-bin/links/admin - All the admin programs.



now for example in one of the files, links.cfg.. they got it like..

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/alex/links/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin/admin";








now what punk?

NO ONE CAN HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM OR WHAT? heh

Firstly don't talk to me like that "PUNK" or I won't help you at all.

Secondly you are WRONG!


$db_script_path = "/alex/links/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin/admin";


Maybe you should learn about basic paths and URL's.

The first line is a PATH and finishes with /links/cgi-bin/admin
The second line is a URL that finishes with /links/cgi-bin/admin

BOTH are pointing to EXACTLY the SAME place except ONE is a URL and ONE is a PATH.

See?...I have no idea what you are trying to point out....

links.cfg is meant to be EDITED anyway - those paths and url's are an EXAMPLE to help people like yourself!

Jeesh.. no one has a sense of humor...

anyway.. i just posted it befor.. on the installation they say create cgi-bin/links but then in the scripts the default paths and urls are links/cgi-bin.

Actually I do have a sense of humor, I'm just not in the mood to show it to you Wink.

Anyway, when Link2 unzips it is just easier up highlight the whole cgi-bin directory and upload it "as is" and then change the paths in links.cfg accordingly.

......and your paths/url's in links.cfg are likely to be the problem.....
