Links 2.0 errors suddenly
Hello,

I have had links 2.0 running for a few months now with no problems. All of sudden I'm getting permission denied errors when trying to build. I have contacted my web host, but I'm still waiting for a reply. The links on my site still work. Just can not add any thing else right now. I haven't changed anything at all lately. Here is the error I am getting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill

A common solution to this problem is to backup/remove the files/folders created by links, then hit 'build-all'. The script will then re-create the folders, etc, and all should be well...Wink

Perl,

I should mention that I am running 2 individual links 2.0 scripts. They are each in their own directory. Both came up with the same error. When I first noticed it, jump.cgi didn't work correctly. Came up with File id doesn't exist or some sort. Now jump.cgi seems to work fine. Kind of hoping that it is a server problem that will be fixed soon. Oh but I did try what you had mentioned....figured it couldn't hurt...especially since you have helped me in the past. No luck though.

1) What is the file permission of "index.html" in the www folder?

2) What is the permission of www?

What you should probably do is search the Links 2.0 forums for chmod 666...changing permissions has happened to other Links users and there is code hack to apply in the nph-build.cgi script.
========================================
Buh Bye!

Cheers,
Me

Thanks Stealth,

I went through and chmoded all of the category index files...including the main page to 666. Deleted everything in the what's new folder. Clicked build and all is well. Didn't think it was going to be so easy. Like I said everything worked fine for months until this past weekend.

Thanks again, Bill

It could have been something your server admin did to the server. It does happen sometimes, unfortunatly Frown
