Guys, I have moved my pages folder out of cgi-bin and have reset all permissions as per instructions i.e.all pl & cgi to chmod 755 , 777 on hits,ratings and "pages" directories.

666 on all data directory files and templates.

Do I take it that the new pages are "Built" from templates as cats/links are added and that the templates can be modified entirely?

I can now access "home" from admin page, but still can't build or email, validate or verify?

"build" gives me 403 error

"validate" gives me "no records to validate"

error message for verifying is 403

here is the admin:

"Pages" are now in my root directory

"links" dir which holds my user cgi and "admin" dir is off my cgi-bin



How did you know I was an old man with bi-focals?
