I have read this thred
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/forum/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=L2Cust&Number=30512&page=0&view=&sb=&part=&vc=1

And I have edited following

Category => [4, 'alpha', 0, 150, 1, '', '^[\w\d,&'@/_-]',

and canot find
sub build_check_dir:

$chrs = quotemeta (",&'@/_-");

Look in your nph-build.cgi OR db_utils.pl file...

I have done that But it gives me this
CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : fatal error: Bad name after alpha' at /web/sites/155/laksearch/www.laksearch.f2s.com/cgi-bin/admin/links.def line 28.

So can you please check my files (links.def),(nph-build.txt)
http//:www.laksearch.f2s.com/links.txt

http//:www.laksearch.f2s.com/nph-build.txt

You need to change your Name field definition to the following:



in the CATEGORY.DEF file, NOT in the links.def file.

The categories.db file is where the categories are stored. And the fields for the categories.db file are defined in the category.def as mentioned in the first thread I linked for you.

I have added This to categary.def But stil getting error...

# Database Definition: CATEGORIES
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Definition of your database file.
Û_def = (
ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],
Name => [2, 'alpha', 0, 150, 1, '', '^[\w\d,&'@/_-]'],
Description => [2, 'alpha', '40x3', 500, 0, '', ''],
Related => [3, 'alpha', 0, 255, 0, '', ''],

See the difference?

I have corrected that one but
# Database Definition: CATEGORIES
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Definition of your database file.
Û_def = (
ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],


Name => [1, 'alpha', 0, 150, 1, '', '^[\w\d,&'@/_-],
Description => [2, 'alpha', '40x3', 500, 0, '', ''],
Related => [3, 'alpha', 0, 255, 0, '', ''],
'Meta Description' => [4, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],
'Meta Keywords' => [5, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],

Try the following codes:



If this does not work...the other solution is to use the Non-English Mod that allows accented characters, &, and other characters to appear in category names printed in the web pages.

This Mod is linked in the Resource Center.

Good luck!

Your code is working

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Invalid characters in category name: /Computer & Internet. Must contain only letters, numbers, _, / and -.
Script Location : nph-build.cgi

Change the following codes in the sub build_check_dir routine in the nph-build.cgi file:



to the following codes:



Hope this works.

I have put the code line

sub build_check_dir {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Checks the directory before we create it to make sure there
# are no funncy characters in it.

my ($root, $dir) = @_;
my $chrs = quotemeta (",&'@/_-");

if (! -e $root) {
&cgierr ("Root directory: $root does not exist!");
}
if ($dir !~ m,^[\w\d/_\&/$chrs]+$,) {
&cgierr ("Invalid characters in category name: $dir. Must contain only letters, numbers, _, / and -.");
