Problem with build all and categories and links
Problem with build and categories and links

This links 2.0 was previously working well for a year or more. Now some links work and some do not. The ones that do not, I get the following error message: "Error: Can't open for output counter file. Reason: Permission denied"

Also I can no longer do a 'build all' I get the following cgi error message:

"CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : unable to open home page: /home/ecatholi/www/links/pages/index.html. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /home/ecatholi/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.006001


It almost sounds like a file permission problem, but I have not changed any permissions.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Rename (filename.bak) or backup/delete your Links-created HTML files, then rebuild, should be OK. For the other, maybe re-uplaod the hits directory. You will loose counts...

Leonard,

Thanks. I am sure your instructions would work. But in waiting for a reply, I tried simply to delete everything in my /links/pages directory except for links.css, then did a 'build all' from the admin panel. This worked for some strange reason.
