I also moved the webroot to drive C in case it was a problem with the resilient file system on the other drive. But same problem. It can not reliably save/edit files ending in .py. On the first attempt, communication error. A second attempt can result in a "file changed on disk" message and a merge changes result. Or it could mean I am left with a 0 byte file. Reloading sometimes shows the edits and sometimes the file is completely empty. I can't see any consistency. It is not a permission problem. I know that because there are no issues with editing views; I only see this with .py files.
Note that this inability to write .py files also stops admin from creating new apps, which is the problem I first saw. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
