canīt delete files ...
I want to delete old datailed-pages by ftp.
I got the message permission denied.

I can only delete regular files, but not the files which are created by script/database.

Is this a matter of Links or my server setting?

The problem could be with the nobody user that is assigned to pages created by a script that executes via the Web. What you can do is remove the files by telnet...logging in as your ROOT admin account....

Code:

rm *

You can delete the whole lot with:

rm -r /path/to/detailed/

Probably has to do with the server user being nobody, or something similar.

Try using Fileman (now part of the 2.04 install) ... it's _REALLY_ cool!!!

At the same server I use Links 2.0

Itīs no problem to delete files and directories which are created by Links 2.0, now I have the next problem, I try to password protect a directory which was created by Linksql, not possible with my scripts (cpanel).

It seems to be that the user "nobody" is the problem.

Why does Linksql create this problems and Links2.0 not?

Uh...same thing would happen with Links 2.0 or any build type of script you use from the browser.

Simple solution...delete all your folders/files in the links/pages folder, then re-build using telnet or SSH.

Hi,

If you install Links SQL via the web, then all files are owned by the web server, and you may run into problems using FTP. You should use the built in file manager to delete/edit any files.

Yes, this would be ok, if I can delete filled directories. But if a directory is not empty, I need to delete all files step by step.

Hi,

No, using FileMan you can delete all files recursively. Just takes one click. You must use the FileMan that comes in 2.0.4, or alternatively download our beta 2 version:
