Well, this is just a tad frustrating.
I took a look at Allen's hack, and I thought it was an AWEsome idea ... so I downloaded the zip and followed the directions for the install.
Allen's database from his site was there, and, with all due respect to Allen, those links wouldn't necessarily "work" for me and my site.
So I tried deleting them.
Wouldn't work.
So I rechecked how I chmoded stuff, and it appeared as if I hadn't done so properly.
So I went and made sure that all the files were chmoded, and I still could not get it to delete and/or change the categories, their names, descriptions, et al.
So then I went into the "guts" of the database files and I manually changed it.
It kinda worked, but in the grand scheme of things, this isn't how I think Allen intended his mod to respond.
So then I tried to play around with the permissions--thinking that maybe something was out of whack there ...
Now all I get are Internal Server Error Messages.
No matter what I do.
The first two files in the cgi-bin folder are
links.cgi
vars_wordlets_links.cgi
They should be uploaded to my cgi folder, and chmoded to 755, right? Or, should the variable file be 777?
In the ubb portion, there is the folder called "links" ... this is supposed to be uploaded to the ubb files, correct? This file folder is supposed to be 777?
And the files within the folder are
db.cgi
db1.cgi
db2.cgi
db3.cgi
dbcats.cgi
tendb.cgi
tenlinks.cgi
Correct? If I'm reading Allen's directions correctly, they are also supposed to be chmoded to 777 ... is this correct?
----
I've done all this (at least, I think I have
)
I get that blasted Server Error; I delete the files and reload them. I still get the blasted Server Error.
What am I doing wrong?!

I'm trying to install this to my test site ... which is upgrade to 6.7
