Of the above I have moved the "backup" folder. Methinks it is either in the paths above... or something to do with the credit for Gossamer being removed from the template files. I checked this out and could't find any referrence... unless it's well hidden.
Otherwise it should be a standard install. It writes to links.db but not to url.db... then I tried adding a link to the url.db file and it still couldn't find the link ID
Only other mod was to the "new" folder name as the script didn't like the "N", but that doesn't figure in this as I haven't used that option for this testing.
All the folders and permissions seem to be ok and as advised. I do recall that when I had it woorking for the original testing that I did have problems in the "hits" folder. The script was creating the ID file but couldn't increment... also noticed that it didn't trip the counter. But as I say, this was much earlier and then I didn't have the "backup" folder in place anyway... but I did see it sort of working once.
If this was licenced would the scripts be different?
