I have the exact same problem. Has this been resolved yet?

No. I uninstalled a third time and tried again. Same thing.

Just solved it from my end.

The 3.0.0 New Install feature is bugged out on my setup. No matter what it try i cannot do a new install with 3.0.0

What i did was install a fresh copy of 3.0 RC1 as a new install and then updated to 3.0.0 using the upgrade feature successfully. I have no idea why.

Be sure to uninstall the broken copy of 3.0.0 with the 3.0.0 uninstaller before you downgrade to upgrade though.

I hope that helps, and good luck man. :D

Thank you for pointing this out. For anyone else that is having the same issue with a new install, the vbalinks_install.php file in the download package here has just been updated to correct this issue.

Ok, I think I just fixed it. I searched Google and saw a similar thread here where someone just changed the Links Home URL in the admincp and it fixed it. I changed mine from http://www.mysite.com/links to www.mysite.com/links and its gone. Is it that easy or is there anything else I should do?

You'll need to add 'http://' back in front of the link, otherwise it likely won't work from anywhere.

Brian, I put the http:// back on the Links Home URL on the error is still gone so thats good. Although now im having another problem. When I enable the Enable Spider Friendly URL's and click on the Category I get sent to an error page. When I disable the Spider Friendly URL's they are fine. Any ideas why? I have vBSEO 3.2.0 installed, do you think that has anything to do with it?

Did you miss this note under the SEO setting? (we probably need to make it bold)

Please note that you must upload the .htaccess file that comes in the "Extras (do not upload)" folder of the download package to your /links folder if you intend to use this option.
