I assume "domain" is replaced by your real domain.

It should be

<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>

Check that the code above is present in link.html

A 500 error can mean as many things as they are grains of sand in the Sahara. Do you have access to your server error logs? If so, then what do they tell you? This would be most helpful. If not, then consider another web host.

I'd take Dan's advice then. Check your error log. If you don't have one try running the script from telnet to locate errors.

hi,
I still get a 500 internal server error when i click on the links in my directory.
The links.db is
chmoded to 644,and when i try to chmod to 666,i can`t get it.This is back to 644.The other data files are chmoded to 666.
Maybe is this a reason to get a 500 server internal error?
thanks.james

I'd contact your host if you can't chmod it properly.
