I got the following error message. It seems to me that Links do not build categories and links properly. I went through the previous postings concerning the chmod set, but it does not solve the problem. You may also check the site http://www.slavophilia.com. Please help.

I can solve the problem by chmod the directory and all the subdirectories and files in it to 777. However, the problem is that I have to do it for every directory. I did chmod 777 for my root directory but it does not help.
In addition, newly added pages show up on "What's new page", but do not show up under the corresponding category pages. visitors to my site keeps adding their site info, and it is a big problem for me.

Changing the permission of your ROOT directory is dangerous and UNNECCESARY. All you have to do is upload a blank file called index.html or index.shtml depending on which extension you specified in the links.cfg file. Then change the permission of that file to 777.
