add,mod,search,rate,sub.cgi Problem "help"
Frown

I have installed links 2 per the readme instructions
the script runs, adds. modifies, & administers fine. All except the add,search,modify,rate,subscribe.cgi's
give me a 404!

I have chmodded them to 755
structure as follows

/home/mysite/public_html/cgi-bin/"links"/admin/etc
with the cgi's in question, in the "links" folder.

setup the cfg file to the same structure (no trailing slash)

anyone have the same problem before?

thanks,
Crazy

what's the URL to your site? Maybe you have the URLs wrong in your template, your links.cfg is incorrect, or something else.

url is: http://southwestflorida.info/find/

whats strange is, that the data folder is recording id's
keeping count etc. after initial post, I added the full path in the cgi's in question, with no avail, same 404's

Note, that the cgi scripts themselves are functioning, when ever i add a bogus id# to the query string in my browser, the script responds. its just with the valid #'s that i get 404's
hmmmmmmmmm.Unsure

Are the URL records for your two test entries valid? what does your urls.db look like?

not sure how valid they are,
I posted them while logged in thru admin, & built a category, then the files, they update everytime i rebuild, it even marked one as popular (with 2 hits) but Ive never found the individual listing on the users end. its gotta be in the jump.cgi somewhere "grrr" path to perl, -check- full server paths -check- Unsure

the records show in "links.db" if thats what your referring to.
heres the contents:

3|test|http://|23-Feb-2002|test|test|test|goodwin@bigplanet.com|1|Yes|No|0|0|Yes
4|yo|http://|23-Feb-2002|test||yo|good1@bigplanet.com|2|Yes|Yes|0|0|Yes

I can attach files if you like, the database is empty,really, just those 2 entries.
i think the actual "test" category takes id #2
but i dont know where id # 1 went to.....lol.

Both the URL's are http:// so of course they won't work.

Hmm

i was expecting the link to pull a dedicated page for the link listing......so jump.cgi justs redirects the user to the external website link?

sorry for my stupidity

King Junko & RedRum, thank you for your help
& the support you give to the forum.

thanks again.

You need to edit link.html to point to the detailed URL - jump.cgi doesn't do it automatically.

Should be something like:

<a href="<%build_detail_url%>/<%ID%>.html"><%Title%></a>
