2nd with add a link. this line confuses me and what to put. # base # base directory to all link files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "/home/usr/you/links";
thanks a bunch for who ever helps me out

The use of base_directory is where a lot of people get confused - it is typically not nameofyoursite.com - instead it is the [b]document_root[/b] 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.

If your user name for your login is "login", the cgi-bin and the links folder and the three other files are in the public.html file, and you rwebsite is called www.website.com please fill out the parts of this script and that need to be filled out and post it please.

Add pl extension in MIME?

aluminumlady — GMT

That is the best response anyone has had from this question! However it still didn't work!!! But. the comment on the end fit best of all. My site doesn't have that extension in MIME. It has just about everything else - the list is long. I can add it but what does pl stand for. My favorite is application/x-troff-man man (don't know what that one is for). I made a link page from the guestbook. Works great.
Anyway pl means??

pl = PerL

That's a little vague. I needed to know what to type in Mime. Found it in Google
Extension: cgi pl
MIME Type: application/x-httpd-cgi
However, it still doesn't work!

As Amber said try changing the extension to .cgi

Did you read this post also?

I think it explains the problem with the extension. If you still have problems, consider giving me ftp access and I will see if I can fix it.

application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi .pl ?

Gave it a try with no results. The website I got the info from was more worried about the space than the dots. I took everything off and uploaded it all over again and it still didn't work.
