I installed, added one category and one link in that category. Tried to build and got:
CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to copy links backup. Reason: Permission denied
Script Location : /home/sites/loun/masslinks.com/web/cgi-bin/admin/nph-build.cgi
Perl Version : 5.006

the CHMOD is set to 755 on this file which i believe is correct all files are in teh right places as far as i know. Whats wrong? any ideas?

Try checking the permissions on your /admin/backup directory.

Good luck!

lol this is my first script ever installing. had to set permissions on most of the directories.. also had to add the link.db.bak file manually and they played with some paths. I got it to work great script!
