Building Pages Errors
Whenever I build pages I receive this error.
Any suggestions to what this means and how to clear these errors up.
Thanks!

They aren't really errors, they are just informational. The file, links.db, could not be overwritten by renameing links.db.bak to links.db. Probably because links.db is not chmod 666. Instead, the script had to copy links.db.bak to links.db the old-fashioned way. The links.db.bak file was created and used to update the hits and votes/ratings.

I wrote a mod (see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...um2/HTML/000656.html ) that keeps Links from changing the permissions of links.db to 644. You might want to apply that mod and then chmod your links.db to 666. After that, it should keep the correct permissions.
