When I go to oursite/Links it shows a total of 463 links but when I go to the database at:
oursite/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi It shows a total of 515 links. When we add in new links
they do not show up in oursite/Links. So links 463-515 are "missing" and no new ones can be added.
I looked at Links and saw a few entries that were not "Validated" so I did
it. Then, I noticed that there was a write errot to the "links.db" - The
permissions did not allow us to update it, so I changed the
cgi-bin/links/admin/data/links.db to read-all,write-all, execute-all (777)
It still didn't change the main page for Links, and I found that we did not
have write permisisons there, either.
I attemted to change the links/Links/index.html file to read-all,write-all
(666) - but got the error message "operation not permitted"
I contacted our web host and this is what they had to say:
I can not find any server related issues as to why this is not working
properly. I have also corrected the ownership of all of the files in the
christians-in-recovery.org/links/ directory, and the same number still
display regardless of what I do (355 and 108).
I looked at your links.db and link 516 is indeed in there (your admin
screen tells me there are 514 total, and there are 514 lines/entries in
your links.db file), but why certain ones are not showing up, I do not know.
I do see other problems with the script (like the way the
links/Links/index.html turns bright pink after a few minutes), and because
I just can't see anything wrong on our end my best suggestion would be to
contact the script author, or post a message on the help forum they provide
- there may be a chance that someone else has experienced a similar type
problem.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to get Links up and running properly,
please let us know!
