"Build All" error
Hi!
I know that many people posted this question before but I still didn't get much what's wrong with it. When I added a link or categorie and then tried to "Buid All" I got something like this:

=============================================

Building Pages

Pages built on 3-Aug-1999 at 07:28:15
--------------------------------------------------------

Backing up database . . .
Backing up links, category and email database (File::Copy) ...

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /data1/hypermart.net/megax8/links/cgi-bin/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00404

=============================================

I checked all permissions and CHMODED everything as is was said in README.

The only other thing that I don't understand is this line of README:

=============================================
chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) on the directory where Links pages will be created.
=============================================

Is it like "pages" derectory or derectory where "pages" and "cgi-bin" is located? Because I upladed "pages" and "cgi-bin" into derectory "links".

Thank you

megax, if you have ws_ftp go and clck on you "pages" dir to highlight it, right-click and goto chmod(UNIX) check all boxes then hot ok, it should work then.

Check your permissions again.


Directory = data = 777

directory = hits = 777
directory = hits - file = index.count = 666

directory = rates = 777
directory = rates - file = index.html = 666
