Hi there! I had GM all installed fine and dandy and I still do. However, I had the link to my archives on one of two pages (which were the same pages, but one was slightly older and the archives link was wrong). So I uploaded the older version of that page accidentally and now the archives link doesn't work. Not only that, but I can't seem to find the right link at all. I've been through all my directories but all I get is "Forbidden" errors. I've not changed my paths at all. The only thing that changed was the link to the archives page.

Can someone please help?

The site is here:

Thanks so much!

Your greymatter archives should never be in your cgi-bin. For now your archives link page is here... http://merboy.carpe-nocturne.org/archives/ but the links on the archive page are wrong and point to another domain and they're inside it's cgi-bin but result in 404's. Move the dolled-up archives out of the cgi-bin (if they're actually in there) and place them elsewhere.

Well, yes, I know. But there is an archives folder in the main directory that's not in the cgi-bin at all. Also, the links that are there now don't include June, and with that and the fact that this is the old setup of the archives entry listing (the new one links each entry individually, not by month) I would imagine that it's readying the old dolled-up html which doesn't make any sense becanse my templates don't have anything in them that would cause this.

Additionally, everything was working perfectly until I uploaded that older version of that page which leads me to believe it's something to do with the link.

Hello? Anyone?

Nevermind, I fixed it myself.

For anyone who has this same problem in the future, the problem was that I had reinstalled Greymatter and uploaded all my old entries. When I did this, it also uploaded the index file in my archives folder from the old installation. To fix this, all you need to do is remove that index file (index.htm or whatever yours was set to in Configurations) and then re-save your Archives templates to recreate a new index file.
