You gave the wrong URL...

It should be:

www.wcws.net/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi

Your problem is with not setting the complete absolute path to your files in the $db_script_path variable in the links.cfg file.

And the correct error message you should've posted is 404 Not Found.

The problem is in the links.cfg file...

Change the following line of codes:

Code:
# Referers -- which hosts are allowed to add to your database.
@db_referers = www.wcws.net;

to the following:

Code:
# Referers -- which hosts are allowed to add to your database.
@db_referers = ('www.wcws.net');

BTW: The @ stands for array meaning multiple values and you have to use the structure I gave you for the array to work!

You are not posting the correct error message.

This tells me nothing...it is like Charle Brown's teacher talking...wahhahahahahahah.

Gibberish...

Please stop posting HTML codes...Post the error message that appears like 404 Not Found or 505 Internal Server Error.

Thank you.

Again...same problem...you have not set the correct path to the links.cfg file in the require line.

That is not the file I was referring to. I was referring to the require line of codes in the ADD.CGI, the file that you posted you were having problems with.

Another problem is with your the following variables:

Code:
$db_mail_path = 'sendmail';
$db_smtp_server = 'smtp.wcws.net';

You only need to set ONE variable...use EITHER sendmail or SMTP.

Change the above codes to the following:

Code:
# $db_mail_path = '';
$db_smtp_server = 'smtp.wcws.net';
