The funny thing is, that i do have a path to /links/index.shtml and it lies within my /public_html

I can undstand why i get this error :-(

Anyone ?

What do you have in links.cfg?

It looks like you aren't using full paths.

Re: [Paul] Build all problem II In reply to

To be more specifical, in links.cfg you need this:

Code:
# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.          
    $build_root_path  = "/var/www/rejsebeskrivelser.dk/public_html"; 
    $build_root_url   = "http://rejsebeskrivelser.dk/links";

I'm assuming that further down in that file you have set these:

Code:
# The name of an index file. 
    $build_index        = "index.html"; 
# The extension to use for non index files: 
    $build_extension    = ".html";

to build .shtml?

Re: [PerlFlunkie] Build all problem II In reply to

If your still having problems, ensure your html directory is chmodded to 777 and upload a blank index.shtml file with permissions of 777.

If this fails post back here.

Re: [PerlFlunkie] Build all problem II In reply to

Hi Paul and PerlFlunkie.

Thx a lot. Your where right. My paths was´nt complete. Somehow i had misunderstood something on my restore !

Funny thing, is that i have to cmod ALL my directories again and all the files within. That is a huge job :-(

A special question til PerlFlunkie !

Is there a standart to the path when sending mails ?

As far as i can see, the path is '/var/spool/mail/root';

But when i use this in

Quote:

# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = '/var/spool/mail/root'; $db_smtp_server = '';

i don´t get any mails to me or my users ?

Thx again

Hi Stu

Took a look on your site. I LIKE IT !!!!

A question ! How do you calculate how many there have been downloaded your resources ?

Quote:

We currently have over 1128 resources on record for you to download, which in turn have been downloaded 121837 times.

Re: [Webpoint] Build all problem II In reply to

To use sendmail, set this to the location provided by your host. This should be one of the following: /usr/sbin/sendmail, /lib/sendmail, or /bin/sendmail.

Also, make sure you changed the admin email address ($db_admin_email)
to match your new host.

The counting of downloads can be done by making your download link go through a clone of jump.cgi. This was discussed in more detail in the last few weeks, browse back a bit and you should find it.

Dot Matrix (http://dotmatrix.net/scripts/setup/) has a free script that will tell you what your sendmail (and other) setting should be. Just upload to the same location as your links admin, and run it.
