Hi All
I have a small problem. Every time I do a build my links.db file is chmod'ed to 644 (a nobody file). This means that I can't access my data directory through ftp and have to keep ringing my server company. Is this an error with the script or my server. Help much appreciated.

Read the FAQ in the Resource Center that provides codes to maintain the permission of the links.db file to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

Regards.

I'm having the same problem too - the FAQ is gone now since the new gossamer site build and I can't remember how I solved this last time.

Anyone recall? Could someone repost it?

Thanks

Man, I am addicted to getting this site up and have no patience...I need help. Anyone have a fix for this chmod problem since the resource center has taken down this FAQ?

Okay...for some reason my Reply was deleted since I posted it earlier today! UGH!

Anyway...add the following codes:



AFTER the following codes:



in the following sub-routines:

sub build_update_ratings
sub build_update_newpop

in the nph-build.cgi file.

That didn't do it for me. First I got an error about the permissions of the New/index.html file. So I set permissions on that back to 666. When I ran nph-build.cgi again I got:

What does that mean?

This means that you have either inadvertantly deleted the sub build_cat_dir routine or that your library links before sub main are incorrect.

And the codes I posted SHOULD DO it unless you are on a NT server where chmod commands do not work.
