Help With Installing Links 2.0 For My Linklist..
 

Hello all, i am new to this part of the board, i am usually in the blogging area, but i am really interested in using Links 2. However, i am not too good with Perl or PHP, and the readme file has helped me to a certain point, but the rest of it seems like Japanese.

This part is where i get lost, and go a different way, i don't get it. Shamelful to say but it is the truth. I hope someone here can take some of their valuable time of the day to explain this for me, thank you very much, and i will appreciate some kind of help.

4. Edit links.cfg and set as a minimum:

- PATH to your admin directory, this is a system path, not a URL! If you
get an error message about not finding a file, look at the SCRIPT_FILENAME
variable for clues on the proper path!
$db_script_path = "/alex/links/cgi-bin/admin";
- URL to your admin directory. This should start with 'http://'.
$db_dir_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin/admin";
- URL of where your user cgi is kept. If you kept the default installation,
it will just be one level below the admin directory.
$db_cgi_url = "http://localhost/links/cgi-bin";
- PATH to where your pages are built. This should be a system path, not a URL.
$build_root_path = "/alex/links/pages";
- URL of where your pages are.
$build_root_url = "http://localhost/links/pages";

- Set one of either:
$db_mail_path = ''; $db_smtp_server = '';
If you are on NT, set $db_smtp_server to your SMTP server. If you are on UNIX,
set $db_mail_path to your sendmail program.
- Set the email address for who all emails will come from:
$db_admin_email = '';



I get lost on that part.

I know my post has nothing to do with actually getting listed or submitting to linklists, but it does deal with a Linklist, so i figured it would fit here. ANY help would be MUCH appreciate. Thank you all very much.



PS, when i go here, like the ReadMe file says, i get an error.

replace 'localhost' with your domain, freesitearchive.com

Thanks UW, Tanya from http://gotwebhost.com installed it for me. Big thanks to her.

I'm NOT Gabbo. I don't even know who his handlers are. I know someone who is positive that he knows who they are and he wouldn't tell me. Gabbo is that secret and that scary.

Hey UW, would you or anyone else around here happen to know how i can add links to Links 2.0 in batches? I doubt that single adding EACH link manually 1 at a time is the best it can get. Any help or tip on this?

I've been looking for a simple mass importer script myself. I've haven't found one yet.

(BTW, I don't run Links 2.0 on my sites. I was just guessing when I tried to help you. ;) )

Ahh, adding all those links in 1 by 1 is going to be the most tedious thing i have ever done. :(
