I'm not sure about permissions, I keep default ones for development. I cannot reproduce your problem on ubuntu + rocket. I tried with the latest trunk and with 1.99.6. Works for me. I suggest copying your web2py folder, setting 777 permissions to web2py_copy (and all subfolders) and then try running a copy and editing via web editor. Not sure what else can be wrong, every time i got communication error it was either problem with permissions or my admin session expired
