Hi,

I have installed Links 2 and when I trie to access adming.cgi for the first time, it shows me a three-blank framed page. Each page tells me: Page cannot be found... or a sort of.

I play around with the script and I see that admin.cgi found the admin_html.pl file 'cause it ran html_home where it set the FRAMESET commands.

I see that it return the control to admin.cgi with display=top as a parameter... But it seems that admin.cgi does not recognize this parameter and show "The Page cannot be displayed"
Take a look at http://www.hispatrek.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi

I already have a link script installed (http://www.hispatrek.com) but I want to install this one because it seems to have quite more features...

Any help would be very appreciate...

BTW, thanks in advance,

Now that your script is running, you need to password protect your admin directory. You can do that through .htaccess on your server.
