    I have just discovered that the ownership and permissions on my remotely-hosted PGV archive were all over the place.  With a lot of fiddling, I was able to delete the lot and unpack a fresh tarball.  Unfortunately the permissions in it were incorrect, with a lot of directories and subdirectories being permission 755.

    My main problem is that I can open an edit window, but I can't type in it, or close it.  I can edit the GEDCOM record directly.  This has been like it for some time, and it has survived the reinstall.  My local copy is fine.  Where should I start looking?

    Permissions: I have run fixperms.sh then chmodded the index/ directory  This issue seems O.K.

    Editing:  Editing a persons reference number is possible.  The problem seems confined to data fields.

    Further on editing: A new member has just edited extensively, and I accepted her edits O.K.  I am coming to the conclusion that the problem is limited to my account.  Re-installing failing to fix it suggests that the problem is in the database, not the program.  Intuitively, that doesn't make sense, but the easy test is to create a fresh admin account.
