I realise that this question has already been raised but the answer to my problem wasn't in that thread :( and I figured it would be better to start a new thread than to continue with that one as it would possibly go unnoticed?

Anyway, here's the problem.

I've just installed links 2.0 in a subdirectory but am receiving the following error:



The following is how I've configured the links.cfg file.


Where I've written 'sitename' there is a different name in the actual cfg file but I don't really want to have to post the entire thing here for all and sundry to see. Anyway, I've checked and treble checked that there are no spelling errors in that site name and there aren't.

Any help on this would be warmly welcomed.

Hi,

Are you sure thats your path? Its *very* unusual for a path to be that short (I very rarely see it).

You may want to give my "Ace Vars" script a go;

http://new.ace-installer.com/...ree&page=acevars

Try uploading it to your admin folder, CHMOD to 755, and run from the browser. I can't remember the exact variable ... but I think its DOCUMENT_ROOT that will be your main path you need to double check.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Now you've got me wondering about that path. My own site (which isn't on a sub-domain) starts with www/www/mysitename/etc etc but according to the server info, sub-domains only have one www in front for the path. I'll have another look at it, though.

I shall try your Ace Vars script and see what that comes up with then.

Thanks

Ok. I found an error in the path... it should have been home/friends/www/mysite/etc etc

I've changed this in the cfg file but still no joy. I'm still getting an error message.


What could it be now?

Should it be...


$db_script_path = "/home/friends/www/sitename.friendsyourway/cgi-bin/links/admin";

Send me the link to the script that shows your server variables and I can tell you what to put in there.

Hey,
I'm getting the same error. Hope you dont mind if I hijack this thread a bit. Consider it some free bumps.



So, they exist, permissions are set properly.. must be the path.
I checked with my host and the proper path on the server is:

/kunben/homepages/5/username/htdocs/

So that must be the problem? This is what I have in the links.cfg file:



When I try and add the direct path in the links.cfg file like

/kunben/homepages/5/username/htdocs/folder/cgi-bin/admin
&
/kunben/homepages/5/username/htdocs/folder/pics

I get this error


So I dont know what the heck the problem is. Any help would be HUGE and thanks for reading this.

Regards,
Sean.

Try this:

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/homepages/5/username/htdocs/folder/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/homepages/5/username/htdocs/pics";
$build_root_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/pics";

OR THIS:

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/homepages/5/username/htdocs/folder/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/homepages/5/username/htdocs/folder/pics";
$build_root_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/folder/pics";

I seem to have the same problem, but I tried some of the suggestions here on this post with no success. What is meant by @INC? Every other part of my links works fine except the modify and random links. Below is my error message and links.cfg code. Thanks in advance.






Nootkan

Have you done what this line says (in modify.cgi)?

require "admin/links.cfg"; # Change this to full path to links.cfg if you have problems.

I have not seen cgi-bin written as cgibin before, but maybe it's correct for your server. But wouldn't the cgi-bin be the next level below public_html?

Like this:

/home/basshook/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin

Yeah, I know the download has it the way you do, but that's an error (in my opinion).

And like the post above yours shows, you might try leaving off the /home.
