Hello,
I have installed GetSimple several times without any difficulties. Today however I installed it on a new (linux) server and get the error message when I try to save the settings screen:
"Error: Unable to continue: Unable to write config file. CHMOD 755 or 777 the folders /data, /backups and their sub-folders and retry"
This is in spite of the fact that the settings are actually being saved. I have checked the contents of admin.xml and website.xml to confirm this.
One thing I noticed that is different about this server I am currently on is that files that are created by the application are not 'owned' by the account owner. I think this is an apache thing.
The other thing I wondered was when the error says 'Unable to write config file' - what config file, or files, specifically is it referring to. Is it just the gsconfig.php file in the root, or is there others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
