Ok- everything going ok- go to build pages - still getting error - permission denied- created a blank links.db.bak file and set to 666- after searching through form - and it keeps saying error. So I decided to improvise and create a blank "index.html" and put it in the pages folder and try to build again. Well, apart from the error, I can see a page there but this is what is says...

and goes on and on. The source code is a cgi script itself. This is supposed to be my "category" index? I even tried to set the permissions. I dunno.

Can anyone give advice? I have looked through the forum for related subjects, and I did what was suggested for permission denied.
