Question

More NEWS - It would appear that the error is not correct as the files are being saved appropriately by the guest account, why am I getting this error....??? Maybe a pathing problem to the OOPs subdirectory or something cute like that??.

Initial installation using Apache as www. All testenv looks great. Am trying to edit a topic and upon save I get an error as follows -

Topic save error During save of file Main an error was found by the version control system. Please notify your TWiki administrator. /usr/bin/ci -q -l -m'none' -t-none -w'Guest' /home/httpd/twiki/data/Main/WebHome.txt 2>&1 ci: /home/httpd/twiki/data/Main/WebHome.txt,v: Permission denied

Follow-up

There's not really enough information here to suggest what might be wrong, but the most common cause of this sort of error is incorrect permissions on files or directories. Examine the 'data' tree and ensure that that Apache user is able to read and execute all directories and read and write all .txt files. The easiest way to do this is to chown -R the directory to the Apache user. See also the instructions regarding permissions in the installation document.

Follow-up

Thanks Crawford - that was one of the problems although I could have sworn I did this, but thanks.

New problem is an RCS error when trying to attach a file? See below error message. This happens on any page where a file attach is attempted.
