Hi Justin,
Welcome to the Ringlink-open list!

I'm a newbie regarding ringlink 3.2 and managed to get it to work under
Windows 2003 Server and ActivePerl 5.8.8.816 (in the future I plan to
run the ring at a domain provider with Unix, but want to test first)
Ringlink is supposed to work under Windows as well.
I ran into some problems setting up v3.2 and currently have a new issue
after I updated all my files to the latest version (a. "anti spam
feature" and b. "Prevent spiders etc. from affecting the ring stats" )
1) Problem compiling language file via browser under 2003 or XP
I had trouble compiling the language files via the various browsers and
got errors:
------------------[start]----------------------------------
Cannot create database c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ringlink/lang/mo/de
Cannot create database c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ringlink/lang/mo/en
Cannot create database c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ringlink/lang/mo/es
Cannot create database c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ringlink/lang/mo/fr
[...]
------------------[end]-------------------------------------
Fix:
Entering "perl langinstall.pl" in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ringlink
compiled the files.
So, if I understand you correctly, that particular problem is solved. To
me it sounds as if there may have been a permissions issue, i.e. the web
server may not have had permissions to create new files in the mo
directory. Note that there are three directories to which the web server
is supposed to have write access:
- the data directory
- the mo directory
- the directory with files containing the number of member sites
2) Current problem with latest code (updated via
http://gunnar.cc/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/program/cgi-bin/ringlink/?cvsroot=ringlink;sortby=date#dirlist)
Do you also have the latest revision of ring.pm, rlmain.pm and rlconfig.pm?
