how do I know if LWP is installed on my server?
I am wondering if LWP is on my system. How do I find out (Unix)?

Also, if I install in a directory in cgi-bin as apposed to immediately in cgi-bin what do I have to adjust?
(I did the links.cfg but that isn't enough).
My add.html, add_sucess.html .. etc all point to ../cgi-bin/add.html
instead of ../cgi-bin/links2/add.html

Thanks

Thanks that was very useful. I do have one LWP module installed.
I'm not sure what you mean by:
<You need to install the LWP module that comes with LINKS in your $db_lib_path defined in your links.cfg file.>

Is that an answer to my first or second question?

Thanks.

That is the answer to your second question.

Uh...

1) Open your FTP program.
2) Select the LWP directory.
3) Upload it your /cgi-bin/links directory or the directory where you specified for your $db_lib_path in the links.cfg file.

I don't know how clearer I can be!

Use the script located in the following Topic:

You need to install the LWP module that comes with LINKS in your $db_lib_path defined in your links.cfg file.

Well that doesn't solve my problem. In fact the path is already correct.
You don't need to answer.

Well, you will need to contact your hosting company and ask them about using the LWP module...some hosting companies do not allow people to execute this module or do not have this module compiled due to excessive bandwidth and server resource usage.

Good luck!
