Need help!
This is the error I get:


Error including libraries: Bad name after sendmail' at links.cfg line 69.
Compilation failed in require at admin.cgi line 27.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

This is what I have wrote for links.cfg

You forgot to put the values for 2 variabls inside the single quotes...
Change:
Code:
# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path =/usr/sbin/sendmail''; $db_smtp_server = '';

# Email address of the administrator. BE SURE TO SET!
$db_admin_email =email@vividok.com'';

to:
Code:
# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path ='/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $db_smtp_server = '';

# Email address of the administrator. BE SURE TO SET!
$db_admin_email ='email@vividok.com';

Look closer:

$db_sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail'';

Also use full paths for the variables not /pages and /cgi-bin
