I installed Qlink 3.2 and there are two updates that I need to do. Then I got the error: "Update failed. Unable to overwrite '/var/apache/cgi-bin/Links/admin/nph-build.cgi with tempfile '/var/apache/cgi-bin/links/admin/tmp/GTTemp49625853: chmod failed. not owner."

I was root when I installed qlinks. Who should I be? Who is the user when I am in admin.cgi? How do I deal with this?

Thanks

You need to fix your file permissions. The owner of the glinks files should be the same user that your webserver runs as. You shouldn't run into this problem if you install from the web.

How do I find out who is the user from the web? Nobody?

I changed owner to nobody and things are fine. Thanks.
