When I did a search on my question, I found the same question asked about 30 times and answered the same way each time. None of them pertain to me. I have been using links for 3 months (adding about 3-5 links a day) with no problem, today I validated 5 new links and clicked on build all and received the infamous:

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Error building! Links database is 0 bytes!
Script Location : nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

* I checked and everything is still chmod 666
* I still have a blank links.db.bak
* Whats weird is it worked fine for 3 months
