Hello,

I use Links 2.01. I have installed it and made following permissions:

777 DIRECTORY pages (or root to build categories)

644 background.gif
644 links.css

(There are details on this last 777 permission
in the links.cfg file).


But by clicking on "Build All" in admin menu I see this error: "CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /my_server_path/links/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503
"

I don't really know what should I change here.

And the second problem is:

if I add a link and after that I make "Staggered (Auto)" and go to Home Page I see my links, but they don't work. If I click on some link I see only: "Error: Can't find link id: 5"

Help me please to solve this two problems!!!!!!

thanks in advance

Did you read the instructions?

.cgi scripts to 755 (ok)
sub-folders in the 'admin' folder set to 777
all other files to 666.
