« Thread Started on Sept 7, 2008, 8:52pm » | |
Hey all,
Im a former user of greymatter. I used it when I had a website a few years ago. Now, I got another website and want to use greymatter again but can't quite get it working correctly. I have installed all the files and CHmodded them to the correct #. I have logged into gm.cgi. When I run the diagnostic, it says that it cant save the file "gm-testfile.txt" I believe my server is running Debian, my perl version is 5, I am using a PC not a Mac. Any ideas as to how I might fix this?
Thanks,
Brian

Sounds like a permission issue with your archives directory. I would check with directory greymatter is using for your archives and check its permissions.
On windows, the perl delete file is sometimes unsupported and can give the message you get, but on Debian you should be cool. Can you give the minor version for your perl? I would think its at least 5.6, but let us know.

I had this same issue and it was actually a path problem. You should make sure your paths are all correct. That should take care of the problem.
