Help me with my problem.
Error Message : error in get_defaults. unable to open id file: /public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/data/categoryid.txt.
Reason: No such file or directory
Script Location : admin.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

But all permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

At wirst time skript can`t locate db.pl I changed path in admin.cgi like this :
require "links.cfg"; require "db.pl";
require "db_utils.pl";
require "admin_html.pl"; Because full path not helps me
And now admin.cgi starts but i cant do somthing?
Sory for my bad English :((

Is the data directory definitely chmodded to 777?

And is categoryid.txt definitely in the data directory?

Paul Wilson. Shocked

Yes the data directory definitely chmodded to 777, and categoryid.txt is definitely in the data directory.
But nothing work :(

Well the categoryid.txt and linksid.txt for that fact have to be both changed to 666 (rw-rw-rw-) like all the other DATA files in the data directory.

BTW: There is a detailed FAQ that discussed file and directory permissions you need for LINKS 2.0 in the Resource section.
