new install - path problems
Hello,

I am sure that this is a common question or at least an easy problem. I have uploaded everything in ASCII mode for Links 2.0. I set the correct permissions on the required files and directories.

I tried to access the admin.cgi script and receive the following error message.

CGIwrap Error: Script is not executable. Issue chmod 755 /www/home/nlfire.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi

My links.cfg is as follows:

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.nlfire.com/cgi-bin/links/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www.nlfire.com/cgi-bin/links";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/cgi-bin/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.nlfire.com/cgi-bin/links/pages";

I think that I have the path wrong some how. Any direction?

Our site is being hosted on a Netcom/Mindspring website and the site resides in the htdocs directory. The path to the admin directory is as follows
htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin

Thanks in advance.

John,

Try changing your links.cfg to use "full" paths instead of relative paths. It may help.

I hope this helps.

Bobsie,

Thanks. I think that I got that problem solved, but now I'm having another. In the links.cfg file, line 223 reads:

1;H to ratings.

I tried to run the admin.cgi script and I got the following error.

Error including libraries: Can't locate object method "H" via package "to" at /www/home/nlfire.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg line 223.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.


I'm sure that I am overlooking something that should be relatively simple.

Thank you for your patience with my questions.

In my links.cfg, line 223 just reads:

Quote:
1;

and is the very last line of the script. Nothing should follow it.

I hope this helps.
