Ok, so I had Links up and running on a server for awhile, but they kind of screwed me over, and deleted my admin directory while "cleaning" up some user files. That basicaly destroyed my website and I haven't really had teh time to fix it. But now I have decided to re-open teh site on my personal server and am having problems with the CGIs. I'm starting completly fresh with a new copy of links 2.0 and at first got all thw files up and they where propting me to downlaod all thw CGIs but I chnged the (require "admin/links.cfg";) to the full path of links.cfg and now all the CGIs just display the source code. I'll include a copy of links.cfg Also, all teh fiels where uploaded in ASCII, chmoded to the right permitions, and the location of perl been chnaged to fit the server.
