Are you using tiddlyfox? If not, how are you saving? If you launch your browser as root, then can you save? I'm guessing that your plugin can't/won't navigate those directories owned by root. As a workaround, can you edit on your server as http://localhost...tw.html ? Mark On Thursday,

Doesn't the "normal" way force you to pick a path and save every time? Your firefox path has to be read/writeable. If you restored your old FF profiles, it might be pointing to a directory that you can't currently write to. What is your default download path in FF? If it's not under /var...

Okay, that was interesting. Well done Eric for coming up with the solution which helped Alex. I'm confused by the answer though, as I use TiddlyWiki to save locally from Firefox under Linux myself, and have never had such a permissions problem before, and I don't use, nor need, the TiddlyFox

First off, I just realized I made a small mistake in my description. I said I couldn't save from localhost. That's somewhat misleading. When I'm at home, I load the page directly from the hard drive, ie. file:///var/www/html/tiddly/filename.html This has always worked in the past. On

Hi Alex, yeah, you also mentioned Apache, so I assumed that you are hosting and serving your TiddlyWiki from Apache locally on the same machine you use to browse it from. I do that sometimes for testing purposes, and find that accessing /var/www/html directly is a good way to diagnose Apache

2016-01-14 Thread Hegart Dmishiv
Hi Alex, can you save the file directly to your /var/www/html folder? Or to the relevant subdirectory under that? Doing so would isolate out any potential Apache issues. Just a thought for diagnosis, not a real solution. On Friday, 15 January 2016 11:26:52 UTC+13, Alex S. Garcia wrote: > > I

Sorry for the confusion there. I see what you're getting at now. To prove it out to a permissions problem with your /var/www/html folder or subfolders, have you tried saving the download (when browsed from the local machine, not via Apache, as we can conclude the problem isn't there)
