Counter File Error
The jump.cgi file on our system has started returning an error and can't figure out why. The error returned is:
"Error: Can't open for output counter file. Reason: Permission denied"

It is happening every time jump.cgi is called, which is obviously every time somebody clicks on a link.

We've had Links working perfectly for a couple of years now and have made no changes, other than normal adding of links.
The permissions on both the cgi directory and jump.cgi are set at -rwxr-wx-wx

sorry those permissions should read -rwxr-xr-x

Try to set the permissions of the link.count file to either 644 or 666.
