Sorry, i have problems only with nph-build.cgi
*** Sorry for my bad english ***

Hello,

i have installed the script and the admin function work fine. Only the Building function does not work fine.

I have read few messages in this forum and i dont find the right answer for my problem. I only have the problem with nph-building.cgi. The other nph*.cgi files work fine.
I have the building directory chmod rightly.
I dont know, what i can do so. Please excuse, when the answer is in the forum, but there are many many messages and my english is not so good.

Here ist my error message:
Links Manager: Building Pages

As the error message indicates, you have not set-up the appropriate permissions for your /backup/ directory, which should be 777 (drwxrwxrwx) and your links.db.bak file, which should be 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

You need to have a blank file called links.db.bak in your /data/ directory and set it to the above stated permission.

Good luck!

The problem is that your server does not allow Non-Parsed Header (NPH) files to execute.

You need to do one of the following:

1) Change all your nph-filename.cgi to filename.cgi, like the following:

Code:

nph-build.cgi => build.cgi
nph-verify.cgi => verify.cgi
nph-email.cgi => email.cgi


If this doesn't solve the problem, then do the following step:

2) Delete all occurences of $nph in your nph files.
