Where did I miss it?

Where did I miss it?
Boiler Plate

I’ve read the readme.txt (I believe that this is a great part of the problem) checked all the permissions, read the FAQ, and have searched the threads, and all files were loaded using ASCII!…. I still just don’t get it.

The when I log my path is as follows

/mnt/web/guide/zone3

In the directory zone3, resides my cgibin and a file named www where all html files are stored.

In the folder /mnt/web/guide/zone3/cgibin… I created the folder, links.

In that folder I uploaded the entire folder/dir admin along with following cgi files; rate, search and subscribe.

The links.cfg file is as follows:

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/mnt/web/guide/zone3/cgibin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://zone3.org/cgibin/links/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://zone3.org/cgibin/links";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://zone3.org/www/links/";

# 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";

What have I done incorrectly? When I perform the test as per the readme.txt file ( go to: http://yourserver.com/cgi-bin (original spelling)/links/admin/admin.cgi I get a “page can not be displayed message.

Thank for your hopeful patients

As mentioned a NUMBER of times in this forum, you need to include the FULL PATH to links.cfg file in your admin.cgi file:

Code:

require "/mnt/web/guide/zone3/cgibin/links/admin/links.cfg";


BTW: Welcome to Web2010/Hostcentric...they have been my hosting company since 1997.

bye...

I see I missed adding links.cfg to the end of the path string is this correct? Now I get another error msg.

Error including libraries: Can't locate /mnt/web/guide/zone3/cgibin/links/admin/links.cfg/db.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-bsdos /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-bsdos /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at admin.cgi line 28.

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

I've rechecked all of the permissions? and as in orginal post it was all uploaded in ASCII
