Like:
1. What did you change between the time it was working and it stopped working if anything?
2. Is this from the web or from telnet?
3. If from the web, did you try it from telnet to see if you get an error message?
4. Does it say Document Done in the browser status line, or does the browser indicate that it is still processing?
Anything and everything you can think of that relates to the problem. Otherwise, we would just be guessing.

Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /data1/hypermart.net/finn/cgi-bin/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00404
This is the message I get when I try to build all.
I set Backup dir & files permissions at 777 but still can't write.
Where's the mistake?
Thanxx

Thanks Bobsie but didn't work 
I had to change data folder name to "datax" cause of the hypermart server policies..I modified links.cfg with the right paths ...maybe any other cgi file still searches for DATA folder?
The error is still:
CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /data1/hypermart.net/fin/cgi-bin/admin/nph-build.cgi

Maybe is nph-build.cgi 's fault?
Thanks for being always so gentle and helpful

All of the following need to be changed in links.cfg:
$db_category_name = "$db_script_path/data/categories.db"; # PATH to category database.
$db_valid_name = "$db_script_path/data/validate.db"; # PATH to validation database.
$db_modified_name = "$db_script_path/data/modified.db"; # PATH to modification database.
$db_url_name = "$db_script_path/data/url.db"; # PATH to URL lookup database.
$db_email_name = "$db_script_path/data/email.db"; # PATH to email database.
$db_links_id_file_name = "$db_script_path/data/linksid.txt"; # PATH to links counter file.
$db_category_id_file_name = "$db_script_path/data/categoryid.txt"; # PATH to category counter file.
$db_hits_path = "$db_script_path/data/hits"; # PATH to hits directory.
$db_rates_path = "$db_script_path/data/rates"; # PATH to ratings.
In nph-build.cgi, you need to change the following lines:
sub build_backup:
&File::Copy::copy ("$db_script_path/data/categories.db", "$db_script_path/backup/$date.category.db") or &cgierr ("Unable to copy category backup. Reason: $!");
&File::Copy::copy ("$db_script_path/data/email.db", "$db_script_path/backup/$date.email.db") or &cgierr ("Unable to copy email backup. Reason: $!");
open (TMP, "$db_script_path/data/$_.db") or &cgierr ("Unable to open $db_script_path/data/$_.db. Reason: $!");
I hope this helps.

1. Is your data directory chmod 777?
2. Is your links.db chmod 666?
If either is no, chmod it and try again. If both are yes, then look at the following thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...um2/HTML/000730.html
I hope this helps.

B I N G O !
Thank You very much Bobsie YOU ARE GREAT!
I just changed the CHMOD and it worked!
Regards;
Peyman
P.S. By the way did you do anything about the script that we were discussing in the other boards? I am talking about the one that users can vote for the site as "The most beautiful site" or "the most boaring site" and ... and then each one will be saved into a separate page! You might want to take a look at this site www.planetclick.com this is a great example of what I have in mind.
Thanks Again
