    Installation Errors


    Most installation errors stem from 3 sources.
    Incorrect File Paths.
    Incorrect File Permissions.
    DOS Carraige Returns.
    Make sure that these are correct and AFFA should run.
    DOS carraige returns are caused by pressing return in either the affa.cfg or affa.pl file when editing the preferences. If this happens you will need to delete the file and get a new one from our site. Note that the default setting will require that you run the affa.pl file directly to load the links page. Thus your links to the link page should look like
    http://www.yourdomain.com/affa/affa.pl
    Or similar depending on where you placed the files on your server.

    AFFA was unable to open the database file for updating; this is almost always caused by incorrect permission settings on the database file.
    System Error 2

    System Error 3
    You have configured an invalid substitution in theconfig file (SubstituteList). Please check the substitution format carefully.
    System Error 4
    AFFA was unable to open the target HTML file for updating; this is almost always caused by incorrect permission settings on the target HTML file file.
    System Error 5
    AFFA was unable to open the log file for updating; this is almost always caused by incorrect permission settings on the log file.
    System Error 6
    The config file could not be opened for reading. The config file should be named `AFFA.cfg' in the same directory as AFFA, unless otherwise in the header of AFFA (edit the script to modify).
    System Error 7
    The config file contains an error at the line given. Check for syntax errors and typos.
