problems with building all
I installed Links 2.0 myself and thought everything was going well until I tried a build all. Here's the error text. Can anyone tell me what must be done to fix the problem? Thanks!

Make sure the permissions are set as follows:

admin/backup directory 777
admin/data directory 777
files inside admin data directory 666
admin/data/hits directory 777
index.count file in admin/data/hits directory 666
admin/data/rates directory 777

Also see my mod to nph-build.cgi at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...um2/HTML/000656.html on how to prevent the links.db permissions from changing back to 644.

I hope this helps.
