Build Categories Error-Permissions Denied
When I first built my categories, everything went fine. Now, when I try to add a new one, it says permission denied. I can add sub-categries just fine. Here is the message I get:

Building Category: Videogames
Subcategories: 0
Links: 0
Making Directory (511): '/data1/hypermart.net/vgstuff/links/Videogames' ...mkdir failed! Reason: Permission denied.

Have you got /links chmoded to 777? Also if you where building by broser then whet to Telnet(or the other way around) those created direcotys will haft to be removed, you might try making a dir called /links/backup and moving the dir in there and retry(if it dont work just move them back, Also where its saying /data1/ shouldnt that be somthing like Serrver1/data1/? Im havnt installed Links on Hypermart for awhile and not really sure but I do remeber server being in the full path
Thanks

I have this error too:

Building What's New Page . . .
CGI Error: No such file or directory
Message: invalid directory name: /data1/hypermart.net/cgi-tools/resources/new. Reason: contains illegal characters.

I don't know what's happening.
Please help.

Have a look at the FAQ regarding Illegal Characters, in particular the section that talks about Hypermart.
