admin not working
hi,
I am having some real trouble with my links admin! Whenever I try and add a category I end up launching a new admin screen in the frame! I have placed the full paths to all of the required files in the admin.cgi but still no luck! Any ideas?

Your hosting company will have to change the permissions of your files. If you are the hosting company, then you need to change the permissions of the files and directories via the NT Explorer or Windows Explorer (depending on which platform you are using).

which files do I need to set permissions on? Or should I just set the directory to execute?

Read the README file....

For translations of the UNIX permissions to Windows...search these forums.

Uh...Right click on folder and files, then select Properties, then select Sharing tab, then double click on your users listed in the Name text box, then click on Edit, then click on Custom Access Right...that is where you change the permission of the file and directories.

Take a Windows 95 or 98 class...

Thnks for the advice, but I can't do that! And as it turns out I could fix it on my own, and did. Some people may not know as much as you, lighten up a little.
