Hello,

I am new to configuring scripts and want to make sure that I understand what to do with the paths.

This is the paths that I have set up.

mywebsite.com/links/cgi-bin/admin

mywebsite.com/links/pages


Can you tell me if these paths are correct:

admin directory
/mywebsite/links/cgi-bin/admin

admin url
http://www.mywebsite.com/links/cgi-bin/admin


cgi url
http://www.mywebsite.com/links


root path
mywebsite.com/links/pages

root url
http://www.mywebsite.com/links/pages

Do the following pages have to go someplace specific? If so where? I was thinking of creating another folder and placing these files there.

What's new page
What's cool page
What's rating page

Thanks
Indera

I suggest the following:

$db_script_path = "/full-path-to-your-site/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.your-site.com/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.your-site.com/cgi-bin/links";
$build_root_url = "http://www.your-site.com/links";

You can rename these folders to whatever you like, just make sure you build these pages in separate folders.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Are you saying that I should create 3 additional folders for the files (what's new, what's cool and what's rating) or create one folder and put all 3 files in the same folder.

Thanks
Indera

The new/cool/ratings directories are auto-generated.

Thank you.

towards the bottom of links.cfg is $db_template_path. Mine looks like

As I recall, it had something to do with running headers and footers - I couldn't use something like
in a non-Links file - I use the include in both Links and non-Links pages for standard sections of code like the menu.
