Im having a small problem on a server,
Everything works other than after I add a cat and link , click build this is the message im getting.
CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /www/com/somewhere/www/cgi/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

Environment Variables
-------------------------------------------
DOCUMENT_ROOT : /www/net/main/www/
GATEWAY_INTERFACE : CGI/1.1

The problem with document_root environment variable its set to the other path
IS their a way i can work around this ?
I have looked over the links cfg and nphbuild.cgi and havent seen anywhere that would change this .....

Thanks

Hey I'm trying leave me alone!!

1) Make sure that you have the correct values (absolute/virtual paths) for your variables in the links.cfg file.

_path = ABSOLUTE PATH
_url = VIRTUAL PATH WITH HTTP://DOMAIN/DIRECTORY

2) Make a copy of the links.db file called links.db.bak and save the permissions to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

Again...I think that you are confusing ABSOLUTE and VIRTUAL paths in your links.cfg file.

Please save your links.cfg as a text file, upload it a publicly accessible directory (so we can view it), and then post the URL to this file.

It will build the links I add or even submit using the add.cgi.
It will not build the homepage or what's cool or new pages. I get Permission denied
Nor will it backup tried what you said.
And the ABSOLUTE PATH and URLS are right.
Double checked everything a few times over.

This is what the server admin said:
" could be using the document_root environment variable as the home dir, which wont' work because it is set to
gamehouse.net by default and can't be changed"
So its trying to access his DOCUMENT_ROOT : /www/net/gamehouse/www/
insted of going to your path
??

nope thats the right path im using belive it or not
I have a few scripts running on this site now.
With that change i get
Error including libraries: Can't locate at that path setting
and the admin page will not load.

Thanks again.

Again...double check with your hosting company and ask them for the following information:

1) Absolute Path
2) Virtual Path

to your account.

Also, refer to your hosting company's documentation regarding custom cgi/perl scripts.

I really can't diagnose the problem unless you have the "absolute" correct information from your hosting company.
