Nope. > If not, how are you saving?

Ah, good question. Hadn't tried that. Just did now. And, interestingly enough, it does NOT work as root either. I get the same error as with my user, ie: "It's not possible to save changes. Possible reasons include: - your browser doesn't support saving (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera all work if properly configured) - the pathname to your TiddlyWiki file contains illegal characters - the TiddlyWiki HTML file has been moved or renamed" > I'm guessing that your plugin can't/won't navigate those directories > owned by root. But I'm *not* using a plugin in this specific case, only TW's internal functionality to 'save changes'. OTOH, I *do* use a plugin when I work remotely, and THAT works just fine!? Weird, isn't it? The plugin can get access but not the file itself... What user would the system see trying to save the file locally? Would it be coming from my user, from apache, or something else? Makes me wonder. And what about the plugin, for that matter, shouldn't my computer see it coming from the same user?? If so, saving should not be possible via the plugin either... unless it's not a permissions issue, but then what? *baffled* > As a workaround, can you edit on your server as > http://localhost...tw.html ? Well, yes, it would then just use that TW plugin in that case and I'd have to click "save to web". Saving from my laptop while connecting remotely also works fine for the same reason, since it would also be using the plugin. It just puzzles me to no end that I can't do a normal local save... that just doesn't sound right :-o Alex. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.alexsgarcia.com/ http://www.myspace.com/asglyrics Music Videos : http://mvdbase.com [database] http://www.freelists.org/list/mv [mailing-list] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
