Question
Every time i run the configure script and i try to change something, i click the NEXT button and I write the password needed to save the new configuration options. Everytihng seem to work well, because after my click on SAVE button the page change and report all the successfull modification. But still the very next i run the configure script all the options changed are resetted.
Any Idea?
I'm running TWIKI 4.1.2 on ubuntu 7.04
Thanks everybody for your great job

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.
Do you have any server accelerator (speedy, mod_perl or the like)
running? In that case, TWiki's configure will
save your
configuration, but still
use the old one because of the persistent
perl processes. With any accelerators you need to restart the web
server for configuration changes to take effect.
If you have access to the shell, you could check whether anything is
written to the configuration. Look at the modification date/time of
lib/LocalSite.cfg
, or better at its contents.
The file must be writable by the web server's user id (
www-data
in
case of Ubuntu), but if it isn't, you should get clear error messages
before ("Cannot write to existing configuration file") and after
editing the configuration.
