Install - Path Problem???
Ok, I think I am close - here is my path set-up:
# PATH of Admin Script directory. No Trailing Slash. *
$db_script_path = "D:/webs/WebSites/onlineorders.net/cgi-bin/links/admin";
# URL of Admin Script directory. No Trailing Slash. *
$db_dir_url = "http://www.onlineorders.net/cgi-bin/links/admin";
# URL of Admin Script.
$db_script_url = $db_dir_url . "/admin.pl";

# PATH of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash. *
$build_root_path = "D:/webs/WebSites/onlineorders.net/cgi-bin/links";
# URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash. *
$build_root_url = "http://www.onlineorders.net/cgi-bin/links";
# PATH of What's New page. No Trailing Slash.
$build_new_path = $build_root_path . "/New";
# PATH of What's Cool page. No Trailing Slash.
$build_cool_path = $build_root_path . "/Cool";
# PATH of the header and footer directories. No Trailing Slash.
$db_header_path = $db_script_path . "/header";
$db_footer_path = $db_script_path . "/footer";

I can add categories, but the directories don't seem to be built??

As soon as I click add categories I get the add screen, but also the following errors:

CGI Error: No such file or directory
Message: Done

_________Form Variables __________
add_form: 1
db: category

_________Environment Variables__________
PATH_INFO: /cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.pl
PERLXS: PerlIS
QUERY_STRING: db=category&add_form=1
REQUEST_METHOD: GET

When I go to build the pages I also get this error:

Building Home Pages . . .Subcategories: 1Total Links: 1
Opening page: D:/webs/WebSites/onlineorders.net/cgi-bin/links/index.html
Closing page. DoneBuilding What's New Page . . .

Message: invalid directory name: D:/webs/WebSites/onlineorders.net/cgi-bin/links/New. Reason: contains illegal characters.

Any help would be appreciated. I have worked on this for 4 hours and I think I am real close!

OK, I am a doofus... I fixed the illegal character problem (missed that in the first read through of the FAQ). Whoops.

However, although everything seems to be working ok I still get the following error (or a similar one) on the admin screen no matter which option I select:

CGI Error: No such file or directory
Message: Done

_________Form Variables __________
db: links
view_search: 1

_________Environment Variables__________
PATH_INFO: /cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.pl

REQUEST_METHOD: GET


Any ideas??
