Yesterday Danny helped me out finding a bug in LinkEX.
On some servers, the web server process is "owned" by you, while on other servers the web server is run by a
dedicated web server user (likely something like httpd, www, apace).
On such servers, each file created by LinkEX will be owned by this web server user. When using the command line
function, the process started to do the check will be owned by "you". Often you cannot modify the files
created by the web server process because of the permissions.
I have now added a tool in the LinkEX that will set the permissions on the files that are might get modified by the
command line script (the links data/links/* and the output data/output/*)
It's quite difficult for me to say how your permissions should be, but the function will set the permission to 0664
(u:rw, g:rw, o:r) on the files.
If you run the command line script, and the process cannot get access to the files, the script will terminate with an
error. If you haven't already done so, please try run the tool.
If you have problems with the permissions, please let me know. Currently I'm trying to think up something clever to
manage permissions and detect your server setup.
New feaures/bugfixes:
RSS Cache bug
The cache folder was not created, so when the RSS feed was fetched, it could not be stored.
This is now fixed. The main index page should load a bit faster now.
New admin tool: Check permissions
I have added a simple tool that will set the permissions on the files created by LinkEX
