I've tried using the Build-All feature in the Mgr several times, but have had no success. I have the backup directory CHmod to 777. The Build-Staggered routine and the Build-Staggered(Auto) routine work fine. Why can't I use the Build-All?

The following is the cgi error I get every time....

What are the permissions set for in your data directory? The temporary file it is trying to create is not in the backup directory, it is in the data directory. If the permissions of the data directory are not at least 755, it cannot create that file.

I also suggest you look in the data directory and see if links.db.bak already exists and if so, check its permissions. If nothing else, make the permissions 666 (world readable and writeable) and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks. I had to set Chmod 777 in Data directory for it to work. But, now it works fine. Sure is faster than Staggered.
