build all permission denied
Hello!
I installed the script and added 2 links and 1 category,
but when i hit BUILD ALL I get the cgi-error:
CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /home/stadt/cgi-bin/links/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

*******************************

I get the same cgi-error with the
Staggered option.

but when i try:
Staggered (Auto)
the categorys and links are build.

does any one have a hint?

thanks in advance!

Hello Eliot Lee!
thank you very much for your TURBO support!
yes you are right I should better check the board for previous postings!

I double checked the chmod, but it was not enough,
I should better check it a third time, and now the rights are set correct.
It works,
thanks!

Uh...if you read the other Threads, you should also read that you need to have a blank file called links.db.bak in the DATA folder and it should be chmod 666.

And you need to make sure that the backup folder is set to 777 or 766 depending on your server configurations.

Hello!
thank you for your fedback!
I added links and categorys, everthing seems almost ok,
but there is not links.db.bak file in the data directory.

I've search for links.db.bak, there was only one thread.
Do you mean i should create an empty links.db.bak (chmod666)file and should upload this this into the DATA directory?

btw: after validiating a link, the user does not get a "Your Link is added" mail.
