I apologise if this sounds incredibly lame, but could someone please be so kind as to post the permissions for every file and directory in Links 2.0 as I suspect the permissions stated in the readme file are a bit brief as I am sure the rest is obvious to regular UNIX users.

I did install Links 1.11 without any problems some time ago, but there was a complete breakdown of the permissions in that readme file

I did not try any of the betas for 2.0 and waited for the completed version, I set the permissions according to the instructions and nothing worked, I didn't even get any error messages, I simply got the 3 frame admin.cgi page but each frame contained my site's 404 page. So I went through and re did permissions according to the old 1.11 directions and guess-imated on some others and still nothing works. I am totally stuck and I am sure it is something really stupid and simple.

Thanks for your patience and any help you can provide!

What is specified in the v2.0 readme file is correct:


The only thing I would add is, password protect your admin directory and then chmod 777 all the following sub-directories:

backup
hits
ratings
data

If, after doing that, you still get the errors in the frames, something else might be wrong.
