error when building pages
When building pages in links manager I get the following..

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied

I have password protected the admin directory... would this be the problem? Everything else works perfectly, just can't build the pages.

Any help would be appreciated.

------------------
Thanks in advance,

Try chmod'ing the backup directory. When in doubt, re-read the instructions. Smile If that's not the problem, then call me a smart ass...

Dan,

No need to call you smart ass.... worked like a charm.

Just so I'm not creating future problems... reset chmod on the following to get it all to build...

backup (drwxrwxrwx)
data (drwxrwxrwx)
hits (drwxrwxrwx)
rates (drwxrwxrwx)
index.count (rwxrwxrwx)

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

Looks good to me! (I'm assuming you have the .db and .txt files directly under the data direcotry chmod 666?) Glad that worked.

Dan,

All files in data directory set to chmod 666 exept links.db, as my server won't allow... "operation not permitted" ... is now currently set as (-rw-rw-r--).

Problem?

Thanks in advance,

There is an FAQ in the Resource Center that addresses maintaining permissions of your links.db file.
