I worked all nite to get my script working-i managed, after many screwups to get the categories and links (transferred from my old castle links script) in working order-but there is a problem-I uploaded in ascii and chmoded the files as it said to do in the installation instructions, but when (in admin) i click on build all, it seems to work, but says this:

Now here are my paths from the cfg file:
# Paths and URL's to Important Stuff
# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/usr/local/www/htdocs/9inchnails/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.9inchnails.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/9inchnails/links/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.9inchnails.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/9inchnails";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/usr/local/www/htdocs/9inchnails/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.9inchnails.net/links/pages";

# PATH and URL of What's New page. No Trailing slash.
$build_new_path = "$build_root_path/New";
$build_new_url = "$build_root_url/New";

# PATH and URL of What's Cool page. No Trailing slash.
$build_cool_path = "$build_root_path/Cool";
$build_cool_url = "$build_root_url/Cool";

# PATH and URL of What's Rating page. No Trailing slash.
$build_ratings_path = "$build_root_path/Ratings";
$build_ratings_url = "$build_root_url/Ratings";


If i did the paths wrong-wouldnt none of it work?? Im confused and stuck-please help me!

Thanks so much!
April :)

also-heres info on paths from my webhost:

8. My script is asking for a baseurl or basdir; what are they?

Many scripts need to know the working directory, (the directory that your script executes in) or the URL of your script.

BASEDIR

On US Net, your base directory is /usr/local/www/htdocs/9inchnails/cgi-bin/
For example, if your login name is 9inchnails then you would insert the following into your webpage or script:
/usr/local/www/htdocs/9inchnails/cgi-bin/

BASEURL

The base URL usually refers to the URL to your website
For example, http://www.9inchnails.net
However, sometime there is a CGIURL which will refer to the URL that your CGI is accessed.
For example, http://www.9inchnails.net /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/9inchnails/script.here

It looks like you are on a Cobalt server (educated guess ). In that case, please search the forums regarding the nph++ fix (try searching for nph++).

As for the second problem, try using the absolute path in the scripts. Change;

Hope that helps a bit
