Add Category Problem - what is definitive answer?
Hi all,

There have been two threads that I have found concerning an error which occurs when trying to add a category, along the lines of :

Error Message : error in add_record. unable to open database:

I am running ActiveState Perl5.05 on a server hosted by Virtualscape/Hostcentric (see http://www.hostcentric.com/html/support/faqs/faq_nt_perl.cfm for more info).

Although the site is a non-profit organisation, we do have fund to pay for this shareware script once it is configured properly. I have edited the links.cfg file with the appropriate locations, and read all the documentation, but I can't get pass the step of testing the Add Category feature.

PLEASE - can anyone help?

Kind Regards,

Ross Williams

This means that the links.db or validate.db files are not set properly. They need to be set to the following (minimally):

Code:

Author Account Name: Full Control
Everyone: Read, Write, Delete, Execute
