unable to open temp links database
I'm getting closer to a working Links 2 (thanks for the earlier help Bobsie, I used your MOD). Here's my new error, what does it mean?

Make sure your admin/backup and admin/data directories are chmod 777 and that all the files in the admin/data directory are chmod 666. Also, see my message in the thread at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...um2/HTML/000656.html to be sure the links.db permissions are reset back to 666 when the links.db.bak file is renamed back to links.db.

I hope this helps.
