SOLVED Permissions error when trying to Edit components

[vtsimple]

Check your hosts error log, i am betting the code you are uploading is being detected as a xss injection.
FYI browsers also do reflected xss blocking now, so check browser console also.

normally you never want a form submission to be echoed back in code as this can be an attack, but that exactly is what we want to do for a cms.

Shawn, I wasn't able to find any applicable errors in the error log for the site. Debug mode showed non-fatal messages.

In retrying the exact steps to produce the issue tonight, we did not get an error and the component was saved. I don't know what changed, other than deleting and reinstalling GetSimple. Maybe when it FTP'd up the first time there was an error?

I'm sorry not to have better answers for you, Shawn, but appreciate your quick posts trying to help. It seems to be working well now.
