I'm in the middle of uploading LINKS on my server (hypermart) and I just came across an error when I tried to chmod the templates dir to 666 -- and I got a "553 permission denied" error message. And I can't open the directory or change the chmod or even delete the templates directory.

Anybody got any suggestions in how I can "change" this??

Thanks for your time!

Why did you chmod the directory to '666'??? Only files to be written on should be chmoded to 666 not directories. Directories that need to be written something in it must be chmoded to 777. Now you can't do anything actually except mail Hypermart's staff and tell them to change it back to nobody or 777. Another way is to change the path of templates in your links.cfg

$db_template_path = "$db_script_path/templates";

to something else. Hope this helps.
