2.0 Doesn't Update The Build
I read the forums and searched, and didn't find a message relating to my build problem.

When I add sites, then click on Build All... it actually won't build. I do not get an error.

Here is the output (I've snipped a bit since it all was proper):

As you can see, the build is dated April 15, 1999. It is now April 25, 1999.

As well, I have 16 links. I can modify them, view them and delete them in admin, but it just won't build them to the site.

My links are located at http://www.bethshort.com/links

Thanks,

Pamela

What's listed above is what I get. I add links and then click on Build All, which is to regenerate the pages. This is the total result I get (note today's date is April 25).

What happens when you rebuild the pages. Try it and if they do not build, report back what it says.

Most likely you are looking at a cache. Try it in a different browser, or make sure you cache has been cleared (sometimes just hitting refresh isn't enough, especially with IE).

Cheers,

Thanks. I opened Netscape and tried the Build All and it worked. Weird though, I totally cleared my IE cache before.

Best,

I am having a similir problem. When I build all, I get a CGI error that says...

Error Message : unable to open what's new page: /home2/ultrasup/public_html/links/New/index.html. Reason: Permission denied

I tried changing /New/index.html file to 777 but it still doesn't work. What should I CHMOD it too? Thanks.

Try chmod'ing the "New" directory to 777.
