another question with NT installation....
i opened up every file and replaced all .cgi to .pl, and when i ran admin.pl i got the following error message:

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


syntax error at D:\Inetpub\gameroot\cgi-bin\links\admin\admin.pl line 22, near "eval "
syntax error at D:\Inetpub\gameroot\cgi-bin\links\admin\admin.pl line 31, near "}"
Execution of D:\Inetpub\gameroot\cgi-bin\links\admin\admin.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

what can i do to fix this, and make links2 work?

when i go to my admin.pl in a browser, it tries to download it. if i open it from location, it runs it in perl and spews out the following error:

String found where operator expected at links.cfg line 128, near "$build_detail_
url = ""
(Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 127)
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
Bareword found where operator expected at links.cfg line 128, near "$build_detai
l_url = "http"
(Missing operator before http?)
Bareword found where operator expected at links.cfg line 128, near "//localhost"

(Missing operator before localhost?)
String found where operator expected at links.cfg line 166, near "if ($@) { die
""
(Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 128)
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)

Error including libraries: syntax error at links.cfg line 29, near "/inetpub/gam
eroot"

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

Can you put your links.cfg online as a text file and provide us the URL so we can take a look at it? Not much we can do without seeing the file that is causing the problem.
