I installed the patch and everything seems to
be ok, just the nph-bulid cgi always shows the same error message (see below) I have installed the program on a unix system.
PLEASE HELP!!!

This is the error message:

Many thanks in advance! Joe

You don't need a patch. You need to look at the error message:


and then check the FAQ.

Hello,

In the links.cfg file, you have to make sure you have a "." in section "Allowable extra characters". Even though you are not supposed to put it their. Hypermart has a "." in the path theirfore you need to put it in. I have links up and running @ http://netace.hypermart.net See below code

# Allowable extra characters. The program defaults to let you use
# letters, numbers, the "/" and the "_". Never allow a "." and only
# allow the minimum chars that work for you.
$build_allow_char = ".";
