The links inside admin.cgi
All the links with in the admin menu, like under links, Add, or Categories, etc... give errors. They say that:

Error Message : unable to open /links/cgi-bin/admin/data/categories.db. Reason: No such file or directory
Script Location : admin.cgi


However, the files are there.... could someone please help me!!!!

Make sure the .db files have 666 permissions.

I hope this helps.

From your links.cfg:

Quote:
$db_script_path = "/links/cgi-bin/admin";
$build_root_path = "/links/pages";

Those are incorrect. You need to specify the full path from your root directory to the directories; something like:

Quote:
$db_script_path = "/home/debonai/public_html/links/cgi-bin/admin";
$build_root_path = "/home/debonai/public_html/links/pages";

The following are also wrong, so I corrected them to how they should be here:

Quote:
# PATH and URL of What's New page. No Trailing slash.
$build_new_path = "$build_root_path/new";
$build_new_url = "$build_root_url/new";

# PATH and URL of What's Cool page. No Trailing slash.
$build_cool_path = "$build_root_path/cool";
$build_cool_url = "$build_root_url/cool";

# PATH and URL of What's Rating page. No Trailing slash.
$build_ratings_path = "$build_root_path/rates";
$build_ratings_url = "$build_root_url/rates";

I hope this helps.
