Your build is stopping at the Update Ratings sub, which means that you probably have not changed the permissions of your rates directory in the data directory to 777 (drwxrwxrwx).

Also, make sure that your Ratings, Cool, and New directories are set to 777 (drwxrwxrwx).

I already did help you...Did you check the permissions of the directories I posted in my last Reply? If not, then check them!!

Also, make sure that ALL your files in the data directory are set to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

Yes, I checked each category (new, rating, cool, etc.) and put 777 chmod, but "Build All" still doesn't work.
You know, mounth ago I tested Links 2.0 in www.virtualave.net and everything worked perfect, but now it doesn't.

I don't know, but maybe the cgi timeout of your current web host is very short. You can try "Build Staggered" instead of "Build All".

You may contact your web host, and if this is really a timeout problem and they don't solve it, you can shift to another host if you wish. See for example Finding a Web Host ( http://forumhosts.com/hosts.htm ).

Anyway, the Links feature "Build Staggered" surely will work for you on your current server. You can try it, it's just some clicks (or one, if you choose "Auto"). ;-)
