Hi!
First of all, I want to thank you for making a script like this available to us!

I installed everything, and I got to the ADMIN page. Then I tried changing the template of the file, and this is what I got. Now I'm not sure what should be the CH MODE for html file described below, or for its folder, so that may be a problem. Can you, please, help me?

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Can't open template: /usr/home/srdjan/cgi-bin/link/admin/templates/add_success.html for writing. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /usr/home/srdjan/cgi-bin/link/admin/admin.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

Form Variables
-------------------------------------------
db : links
edit_tpl : add_success.html
save_template : Save Template
save_tpl : add_success.html
tpl :

Chmod your template files to 666 or 777.

I have nothing else to say but thanks!
It worked

I RAN INTO MORE TROUBLE!
Here is the error message when I try the "BUILD ALL" from the Admin menu!

It seems that I ran into some SERIOUS trouble with CH MODES.
Can you help me please?
Thanks again!

Change the permission of the following directories to 777:

backup
hits
ratings

Also, BTW: The template files need to be changed to 666 (rw-rw-rw-) NOT 777 (rwxrwxrwx).

Thanks Eliot!
That was AWESOME! It turns out I did not set the permission for the DB files to 666.

There is one more problem coming up: The setup cannot create the "NEW" "COOL" folders. I wanted to put them outside the CGI folder, into the "SEARCH" folder, and I've changed the path accordingly, and here is what I get when I click on "BUILD ALL" from the admin menu:

I guess there was another CH MODE screwup on my part.

What I did the last time, I changed the CH modes for the folders to 777 as you told me to, and I changed the Ch modes of all "*.db" files inside the "data" folder.

Can you please help me?

Thanks a lot, again!!!
