hey there! believe me i didn't want to post but i've been trying to figure out what is going on with this for about three hours now and my eyeballs are about to pop out of my head.
everything works WONDERFULLY except for the add.cgi, modify.cgi, jump.cgi...and the search. the admin.cgi works fine, i added categories, added links through it, etc...
let me kind of state that i'm not a total dork with cgi, i've successfully installed a UBB on my page and tons of scripts before, so the perl path is right, the absolute path is right, i double checked my sendmail...
even there is no -t when i looked up in nifty telnet, i added the t and tried that. i've tried sendmail as well as smtp (not at the same time of course.) but since i'm on unix i left it with the sendmail.
at any rate, of course the permissions are all set to 755. i've been over the readme file kerjillions of times and the ONLY thing i can think of that i can't find listed anywhere is the links.cfg file -- what are the permissions for that, exactly? but then again, i've tried it at 644, 666, 755, and even 777 and no go.
Soooooo I'm kind of at a loss of what to do here. I've read through the forums and have already addressed all the problems everyone else seems to have trouble with, so i'm not asking for help blindly, and I really hate having to ask anyway, I'm sure you guys are uber busy. :-)
JUST in case you might need it, I'm going to go ahead and post the config file here so maybe someone else can see what I might be doing wrong. It has to be something simple I'm overlooking because I've been staring at it for three hours. :-)
the forum is probably going to put breaks in that won't be in my original file.... but here it is! :-) Thank you SOOOO much in advance.
