File permissions, I think?
« on: May 02, 2009, 10:09:40 AM »
I've been able to get 2.0rc1 working with both Firefox and Opera (not online) and able to read and edit some TiddlyWiki files.  But I can't save updates to these files from either browser (a normal task with this type of file).  I'm guessing this has something to do with the file permissions since the TiddlyWiki files were copied from PCLinuxOS.  I am more of an end user; is there an easy way to reset the permissions on these copies of the wiki files to see if that is the problem?  Also, do you have any suggestions if my guess turns out to be wrong?

Let's assume the copies are in a directory named "wiki":
Code: [Select]
sudo chown -R 1001.50 wiki
This is the same thing, done with names instead of IDs:
Code: [Select]
sudo chown -R tc.staff wiki

Thanks! I'll try that after I reboot.
