Urgent Question
I am in the middle of setting up my links 2.0 program on my web site. I was following the ReadMe instructions, and I am on step 4:

4. Edit links.cfg and set as a minimum:

- PATH to your admin directory, this is a system path, not a URL! If you
get an error message about not finding a file, look at the SCRIPT_FILENAME
variable for clues on the proper path!
$db_script_path = "/alex/links/cgi-bin/admin";
- URL to your admin directory. This should start with 'http://'.
$db_dir_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin/admin";
- URL of where your user cgi is kept. If you kept the default installation,
it will just be one level below the admin directory.
$db_cgi_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin";
- PATH to where your pages are built. This should be a system path, not a URL.
$build_root_path = "/alex/links/pages";
- URL of where your pages are.
$build_root_url = "http://localhost/links/pages";

- Set one of either:
$db_mail_path = ''; $db_smtp_server = '';
If you are on NT, set $db_smtp_server to your SMTP server. If you are on UNIX,
set $db_mail_path to your sendmail program.
- Set the email address for who all emails will come from:
$db_admin_email = '';

What do I do on this stuff, please explain to me!

Re: Urgent Question In reply to
Where is says /alex/links/cgi-bin/admin, you have to specify the physical local directory where your files are located, like the following:

C:/InetPub/wwwroot/myaccount/cgi-bin/admin

For the URL paths, this is the virtual paths to your files, like the following:

http://www.mydomain.com/links/pages

Hope this helps.
