Trouble shooting....
Hi there...

Here Kel from The Netherlands...I'm just testing somethings for my website.
Somebody installed Links 2.0 for me.

I have put new tempelates online. But now i'm testing the link on the website and the link is going to:

http://www.flash4you.net/links/cgi-bin/jump.pl?ID=8

BUT THIS MUST BE:

http://www.flash4you.net/links/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=8

The site is linking to a jump.pl but this must bee a jump.cgi file.

How do I change it ? I can't edit .cgi files and .pl files....

Or must I edit the tempelates html ?

With greets...a dummy Dutch man..with bad english...

You must edit all the template files that reference jump.pl file. If your installer has used tags in the links to reference the jump script, then all you need to do is edit the following variable in the links.cfg file:

Code:
$build_jump_url

to look like the following:

Code:
$build_jump_url = $db_cgi_url . "/jump.cgi"; # URL of jump script
.

Nope...This is so easy to do! Come on!

*hold my hand*

1) Open your links.cfg file in a text editor off-line!

2) Go to the line that I showed you, which is near the bottom of the file.

3) Delete the line.

4) Then add the codes I posted in this forum.

5) Save the file.

6) Upload the file to the same directory in your server.

7) Re-build your index.

BTW: You really have no business maintaining cgi and perl scripts if you can't make this simple edit in the file.
