Odd Permissions Problem
OK here is the low down on my problem:

- I can add links just fine

- When I try to add a category it gives the error:

CGI Error: Permission denied
Message: error in add_record. unable to open id file: /data1/hypermart.net/playgamez/admin/data/categoryid.txt. Reason: Permission denied

BUT then adds the category!

- Deleting and modifying works fine

- When I got to build it starts to go but then gives the error:

CGI Error: Permission denied
Message: unable to open url index: /data1/hypermart.net/playgamez/admin/data/url.db. Reason: Permission denied


I've CHMODed everything to exactly what it says to. However I am running the add.cgi modify.cgi jump.cgi and search.cgi from my root directory, and have the admin directory created in the root. Could this make a difference?

By the way (other than this) I LOVE THIS SCRIPT!!!

Hi..

This could be your problem...I'm trying links 2.xx on Hypermart and have no problem with it other than I don't like the new look....the program is easy so far for me to configure.
And all the new futures....got to love it...
Jarek.

Make sure your data/categoryid.txt file is chmod 666 (-rw-rw-rw-).
