whats with that config im getting this error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Question 1 - can you get into your links.pl page at all (using the password entry info near the top of the script in links.pl ) ?

Question 2 - did you correctly chmod the links.pl file in your cgi-bin?

does not look like a valid path.

Now this is where most people get confused - it is typically not nameofyoursite.com - instead it is the document_root of your site and it is trying to get you to your html pages using the safest route.

Run a search on this forum to find out more about this document root and how to find it if you don't know what it is for your site - I can create an easy php or a perl page for you to find it, if you still need help with it.

its now working but when i login to admin. it take to www.microsoft.com

Glad to hear that you have been able to get it working. I would have no clue why you would be redirected to microsoft.com when you log into the admin. I've never had that type of problem occur.
