I am unable to delete the HTML files generated by the LinksSQL script, even though I set the variables
build_file_per and build_dir_per to 0777.... How do I pull this off?
If I tried using "rm index.html" thru telnet I get the message "cannot unlink `index.html': Permission denied"...
How do I solve this?

Delete the files via FTP.

Or failing that, log-in as su to give yourself complete permissions to remove files from telenet.

- Eraser

Not everyone can su to root.

Not saying he could, but if he can, doing so usually solves the problem of permission deleting.

Oh yeah I know - I assumed he didn't have root access....that's all....

You can use the following codes to delete all files and directories (generated by the LinksSQL) at a time.
1. Save the following codes as "delete.cgi".
2. upload "delete.cgi" to another directory (a directory which is password protected is recommended).
3. run "delete.cgi" from the web.
4. delete "delete.cgi" from your server.-->important

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# Caution: Be careful to set $directory right.
# Caution: It will delete everything in that directory.

$directory = "/path/to/LinksSQL";

use File::Path
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Deleting All Files in $directory:<BR><BR>\n";
rmtree([$directory], 1, 1);
print "<BR><BR>All Done!\n";

Damn... that worked!
Thanks a zillion bro...

By the way, I do not have a root access.
