Verifying Links Questions
I am using Links 2.0 on Win NT with IIS4. Most everything seems to work, except for the Verifying Links. If I do a "Quick Check", I get the results below:

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : error in verify_links. unable to open db file: ./data/links.db. Reason: No such file or directory
Script Location : C:\InetPub\scripts\links\admin\nph-verify.cgi
Perl Version : 5.006

If I do a "Detailed Check", I get a dialogue box asking if I want to save or run the file. That must have something to do with the appended $detail on the end of the nph-verify.cgi script. Other cgi programs work in Links and in other applications, so I am guessing that the IIS 4 server/Win NT doesn't recognize the $detail. Any ideas?

Hi - I'm also having problems with this part of the script (and the smtp server) on a site hosted on Perl 5.006 - the script works fine on previous versions ; my hosting company is looking at the perl install at the moment, so I'll let you know if that's the problem
