admin.cgi?
Hi people can you help me out? I'm new to Links and I'm just trying to get it up and running but I'm getting the following message...

Error including libraries: Can't locate /home/web/uksearcher.com/cgi-bin/admin/db.pl at /home/web/uksearcher.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi line 28.


I know that this has been discussed on the boards in the past but I feel that I’ve tried everything. I got the following cgi file from http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/forum/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=L2Unix&Number=113022&page=&view=&sb=&vc=1#Post113022

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print <<EndOfHTML;
<html><head><title>Print Environment</title></head> <body>
EndOfHTML
;
$ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'} =~ s/basepath.cgi/ /;
print "Your basepath to this directory is: $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'}";


print "</body></html>";

And it told me the exact path to my cgi-bin so know my links.cfg file reads…

# Paths and URL's to Important Stuff
# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/home/web/uksearcher.com/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://uksearcher.com/cgi-bin/links/admin";

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

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/home/web/uksearcher.com/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://uksearcher.com/pages";

# 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/Ratings";
$build_ratings_url = "$build_root_url/Ratings";

Can anyone please help me out and get me up and running on this great script?

Cheers,

dEVS.

Make sure all the CGI files are CHMODed to 755, folders to 777 and all other files to 666.

Actually these permissions are not globally correct. There are some folders and non-CGI files that need other permissions. Please check out the following thread:

I noticed that the path for $db_script_path is not correct, the "links" is missing in it.

$db_script_path = "/home/web/uksearcher.com/cgi-bin/admin";

Try this and it may work for you.
