Free Link Pages

Hi,
I have a prblm with it. When I'm trying to add new link, it says: "Cannot open ID file links_id.txt in /home/.../links for writing!"

Help me to do it right, pls

thanx

check with your server to get the correct base directory for http docs

example..my base directory for http is

"/home/httpd/vhosts/usernam.com/httpdocs/";

if you put the files into a folder inside your httpdocs directory named "links" it would look like this

"/home/httpd/vhosts/username.com/httpdocs/links";

you will need to change this information in you links.pl file

I wonder if I can use this in a windows server?

With Windows2000 server its works perfect !!!

Yes, works fine on Win XP. You just need to set the:

# base directory to all link files from the server root without trailing "/"

correctly, for me the both partition is E: and standard install of Apache and the site that uses the links is in /ferrari/. so my setting is:

$base_dir = "E:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/ferrari/links";

Also default path install for perl and the first line in my scripts read:

#!/perl/bin/perl

Hope that helps.

Luckily I didn't have to post new, Excellent, This is the info I needed.

You are the Man

I have tried all the paths,
c:/inetpub/wwwroot/links
/links
/wwwroot/links
none of them are workin for me, its xp pro with iis 5.1
i set up the permissions so that the txt file can be written to, and im still havin the same problem.
i see alot of others havin the same problem too, and this is the only thread that had an answer.
i have used alot of pearl before to set up cs stats pages on servers. i have never had this problem before im not sure what im doing wrong.
can anyone please help?

Make sure you have this in your setup section:

Make your base path read something like:

$base_dir = "/usr/your domain/www";

Do not add a path to the file itself, the script does it for you. Make it read like this:

$id_count = "links_id.txt";

The script it finds the txt file by taking the base directory path and then it appends the file name. I also made the mistake of this:

$id_count = "/usr/your domain/www/links_id.txt". When the script executes it would look run this path:

/usr/your domain/www/usr/your domain/www/links_id.txt

which of course did not work.

Hope this helps....And thanks to Chi Kien Uong for this nice script.
