Error: Can't increment counter file. Reason: Permi

Error: Can't increment counter file. Reason: Permi
Please forgive me if something similar to this has been posted recently. In my defence, I did search extensively through all past posts but I could not find the answer I needed.

Basically, upon trying to click on any link in my database I get the following error:

Error: Can't increment counter file. Reason: Permission denied

The answer would seem to be changing the permissions of all the files in the /data/ directory to chmod 666. I just checked and double checked them all however. Any other ideas appreciated.

Cheers

Is the /data/ folder set to 777, and also /data/hits/ set to 777? One last thing to check is that index.count is CHMODed to 666.

Dunno if I just repeated exactly what you have done, but is better to clear up the obviouse problems first Wink

Thanks so much. The obvious is always the problem.

my data/hits/ folder was not set to the correct permission.

Thanks again :-D
