Unable to open url index

Unable to open url index
When I click on Staggered AUTO I constantly get the following message.

Message : unable to open url index: /data1/hypermart.net/linkbaron/cgi-bin/links/admin/data/url.db. Reason: Permission denied

I have tried CHMOD this file 666, 755, 756, 777, 644 but none seem to work.

Anyone have a solution to this problem?

chmod the admin/data directory to 777 and the problem should go away after you chmod the file back to 666.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Bobsie.

The links.css that comes with Links looks like a dogs breakfast. Has anyone got a copy they've rewrote that would be easier for a novice to read and understand?

Thanks

Don't mean to be a pain but I tried to run a detailed link check and got the following error:

Link checking started at: Sat Jun 5 10:56:11 1999

Unable to load Parallel User Checker. System Error:--
(Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?)
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data1/hypermart.net/linkbaron/cgi-bin/links/admin/Validator.pm line 26.
--Using IO::Socket method instead.

Tried to find line 26 but depending of the window size of Notepad depends on line 26 :-)

Anyone had this problem before?

Line 26 of Validator.pm says:

Perhaps the two scripts located in your admin/LWP/Parallel directory were not uploaded in ASCII?

I hope this helps.
