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

ALERT! 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.
