Please Eliot help in congiguring links2 in win2000 I'm stuck in the middle of the way.
I tried to congigure the links.cfg by puting the path of the admin directory as follows:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin\admin
URL:
//C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin\admin
URL of User CGI directory:
/:C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin"
PATH and URL of Pages to be built:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\pages
//C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\pages
Then when I try to open the admin.cgi in the explorer thew result is to open the admin.cgi in the notepad program.
how to continue the configuration? Please help.
Thanks in advance.

In your _path variables, you need to use:

Code:

C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/admin


For your _url variables, you should use:

Code:

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/admin


OR

Code:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/admin

Thank you sir for your advice. In fact I did what you ask me to do and then I call the page of the admin.cgi by putting the following phrase in the internet explorer:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi
I had the following result:
"The page cannot be displayed"
"Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer "
So what is the problem now. Sorry if I'm bothering you.

It is probably a problem with your server configurations. I would use a simple perl script to see if you have successfully set-up your server to execute .pl and .cgi files.
