On my way out the door so just a brief note..
Please make sure include/config.php $our_site is defined.. "freshcoffeeshop"

It worked very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we also fixed the inability to edit sites...

This is the error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function sql_error() in /home/fres1cof/public_html/links/admin/sites_main.php on line 202

(If I go to link check, and I try to edit a a site from there, although everything seems to work right is doesn't save the changes)

Short story / fix ..
simply change "sql_error" , "sql_fetch_array" or "sql_query" to
"mysql_error", "mysql_fetch_array" and "mysql_query"

The long story
The original authors of phplinks, on which newphplinks links was based.. upon which dewphplinks was based.. apparently weren't sure if MySQL would be around very long, so they put many of the database related stuff in wrapper functions.

I myself am not a big fan of this method.. creating a new function that simply executes an existing/native function.. seems a bit wasteful to me, so I avoided calling the functions, and slowing converted some of the new wrapper function calls to standard native functions.
Finally.. when I thought I had replaced all the native wrapper function calls, I removed the wrapper function.... except in this case I missed at least one of the function calls.

Incidentally, this has been corrected in the current download

I replaced sites_main.php with the one in the stable version and it works fine (the one included with the beta doesn't work)

I also replace edit_site.php with the one from the stable version
