Yuk. Are you the system admin? It looks like all Perl scripts are being interpreted as plain text...you need to add the Perl extension to your system handles. If you arn't the admin, then get your host to have a look...it won't only be Links 2 that isn't working, so its playing up something rotten on your site Frown

K, Andy, thats all jargon to me --- no programing here :)

it was actually already screwed up before I moved to my current host. Don't wanna name where it was moved from but they screwed it up.

Anyroad, so what should I do? I don't think it's the host cause I'm running links SQL on the same box with no problems... BTW, I'm going to need you for some modifications on that in due course -- had previously checked out your site...

So how can this be fixed..? not a big deal cause I'll just take it down if it's too much of a hassle. Just want to keep it up for those who have emailed to say they found it useful...

thanks...

Actually...thinking about it, you could have uploaded it in binary, and not ASCII. In your FTP client, what do you have set as the transfer protocol? ASCII, Binary or Auto?

And all your files are CHMODed? Could be that your host only lets .pl files run...try renaming add.cgi to add.pl, and see what happens...

The cgi is showing as plain text because your webserver doesn't associate cgi scripts with perl and so it just thinks it is a normal text file.

You need to get your host to add this into their webserver...you could trying putting a .htaccess file in your cgi directory with the following inside:

Options +ExecCGI

...if that doesn't work you will need to contact your host.

but..... Paul... How come I'm able to run Links SQL on the same server right now and there's no problems at all.

This was screwed already before I moved to dreamhost....

Ok, CGI has been enabled for the domain but there's a new error:

"Error including libraries: Can't locate /home/sites/www.idea247.com/web/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5 .) at jump.cgi line 35.

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

anyone know what i should do?

thanks...

You sure thats the path? If you have Telnet, type:

cd /home/sites/www.idea247.com/web/cgi-bin/links/admin/

if you get a folder not found error, then thats your problem.

All way too complicated for me... My programmer's gone for a month and I've got two left coding arms...

I think I'll just kill links on that site - no bigness...

Thanks...

Sorry, I've been at Alton Towers for a couple of days. I tried logging into your site with the details you gave me, but it wasn't the right combination. Maybe you could re-email them?
