How do I get the templates to display?
What permission do they need to be at

You only need to set permissions on the templates if you wish to edit them through the admin area (which I don't recommend, as you're more likely to not keep a local copy of files if you edit on-line).

The templates themselves don't actually display. When you run a build of the database, they produce the output HTML/cgi pages such as home, new, add, etc. Thus the term, template. Smile

That is not entirely accurate...the Read and Write permission is used not only for editing template files, but building pages. So, even if you don't edit them online, you need to have them set to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

Are you sure about that? According to the Links readme:
Quote:
chmod 666 (-rw-rw-rw-) on all your template files (if using the online editor).
I don't chmod my template files -- just upload 'em and go -- and I've never had any problems building.

I am quite sure...and I have experienced problems with building the category pages if the category.html file is not set to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).
