I receive the below error when attempting to add a category or link to my db's. I have tried the permission settings everyway I can possibly think of. I am using a server hosted by Vservers. I also have other cgi/perl utilities running and they work fine. Anyone have any ideas?? ==========================================

Your databases must be set to the following permissions:

IWAM/MACHINENAME: Read, Write, Delete
IUSR/MACHINENAME: Read, Write, Delete
Admin Account: Read, Write, Delete
Everyone: Read, Write

If you do not have "physical access" to your server and you cannot change permission of files/directories, then ask your hosting company to do it.
