Maybe I am crazy ... but Links 2.0 is working fine except for the add.cgi file, no errors or anything it simply reloads itself after you attempt to submit a file. It does not write to the database.

thanks in advance for the help.

As mentioned in other Threads...

Check for the following:

1) You have uploaded the Mailer.pm file in your /cgi-bin/links directory.

2) Make sure that you have properly configured your sendmail or smtp variables in the links.cfg file.

3) Make sure you are using the following codes for your SUBMIT input field:

Eliot,

thanks for the suggestions ... none of this worked, however some how I did enter the wrong SENDMAIL path in the CFG. I changed the form from a POST to a GET and now it works. Does this matter? ... I had forgotten that I had to replace all POSTs to GET .. I do not know why the forms with not work with POST.

To anyone else having this problem, try to use GET instead of POST and maybe that will cure your problem.

Uh...yea!

GET = get data from file.
POST = put data into file or send data

One of the basics of Perl.

Eliot,

so if GET only means to get data .. then why does my add.cgi now work correctly with a GET for the form instead of a POST? Maybe our server is screwed up or something ..

Your server is screwed up.

Search perl.com or other perl document sites for more information on form methods.
