Re: Building problems - timeout! In reply to
This is a common problem but is caused more by the configuration of the server than the Links scripts. Your server is timing-out and killing the script because it is taking too long to complete a process.

If you have telnet access to your account, login and build it online rather than from the web.

The following tips will help with future web builds:

1. Use span pages by turning it on in links.cfg.

2. Adjust the number of links per page from the default of 10 to a higher number (I use 25 on my site).

3. When looking at your Category database, try to keep the amount of links in any one category to the lowest number possible. This is done by the judicious use of Subcategories. For example, if you have a large number of links under one category, the script may time out building the page(s) for that category. Try to create Subcategories for the main Category and move the links to it so that the links are not listed all under one page.

I hope this helps.
