I've finished installing links and have followed the instructions to the last word - but I may have overlooked a few cause its late Anyhow, I'm getting a build error:

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /www/sweeper/cgi-bin/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

The script path should be something like: /home/sweeper/www/cgi-bin/admin/nph-build.cgi but I dont know where to change it. I've had a look around, but I dont want to stuff anything else up!

The script location is wrong, and i've triple checked the links.cfg file. I have the following in the links.cfg file:

$db_script_path = "/home/sweeper/www/cgi-bin/admin";

I've also checked the permissions for all the cgi files and specified directories that needed to be chmod'ed, as well as changing the data directory to 777 cause I read about that somewhere in one of these posts, but none of it helped.

Any suggestions are more than welcome

you need to chmod the backup dir I think it was chmod 666 but may be 777

thanks for your suggestion, i used chmod to change the backup dir to 666 and 777 and tried to build the database again, with no luck still.

anymore suggestions?
