Hello.

When I'm trying to run nph-build.cgi from telnet (I need it for cron), I'm getting the following error message:

You cant run this script from telnet/shell

I've serached all forum but didn't find an answer why could it happen. I understand why admin.cgi doesn't run from shell, but what about nph-build.cgi?

People, HELP ME! Summer is coming and this small problem keeps me indoors.

Very odd. nph-build.cgi should have no problem building via telnet (I have it set up to do that on one of my sites). Could you try uploading a fresh copy and trying again?

Thanks for the quick answer. I did as you recommended (uploaded distributive nph-bild.cgi and it worked fine). Then I compared two scripts and found the difference appeared impotant:

$use_html = 0; in distributive

$use_html = 1; in my version

I don't have any sense what it means (not a programmer at all ) but I've changed that string to =0 in my script and it seemed to work from telnet after that.

BUT!

Now I have my index page rebuit by cron from Telnet but when script is building category pages, I'm getting the following error message:

Andy or anybody else, could you tell me what does it mean and how to deal with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

You need to make sure your folders are CHMODed to 777, and data/page files to 666.
