Very strange problem
MadCrazyUnsureTongue

I have had my links directory up n' running for app. 2 years. Today I tried to log-in to my admin panel and it was a blank screen that appeared after I put in my password. The strange thing is that after I tried a few times then it was possible to access the left admin frame and the middle one but the rest were blank.

I tried to log-in again but now it is all blank.

I am going CrazyCrazyCrazy

Please help me

Strange strange - I tried to change the admin folder from chmod 755 to 777 and the screen was visible.

Please give me some input when it comes to security in relation to 777 for admin. I have temp. reverted back the chmod to 755 for the admin folder as a precaution.

The strange thing now is that my category pages are not updated when I run nph-build.cgi via ssh/telnet.

Also, modify.cgi, add.cgi, search.cgi are all blank and the source of those pages are the following:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

That means that the build does not even pick up the templates from the template directory (chmod 777)

My links.db is only 210 KB

One of the chmod settings was changed by the server.

Cannot believe it. I find the answer to my own thread.
