HEllo everyone,

All aspects of Links 2 works for me except for 1 thing. When I try "build all" or any other page build option. I receive the following error:

Please Help!

You need to change the permission of links.db.bak to 666 (rw-rw-rw-). This has been discussed before in this forum....

Unable links.db.bak

I cannot find the file links.db.bak
I can only find links.db and I changed the permission to 666 and it still doesn't work.

You need to have a blank file called links.db.bak file in your data directory and change the permission of the file to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

Did you even click on the search link I provided? There are a number of Threads that includes this same piece of advice.

Regards,
