PhpGedView v2.61.1 - privacy.php errors

[Ken Matteson]

I cannot seem to change the privacy settings to show living names only to authenticated users. I get the following errors when I try to save the changes:

Warning: fopen("privacy.php", "w") - Permission denied in /home/httpd/vhosts/ratters.com/httpdocs/phpGedView/edit_privacy.php on line 1135

And many of these:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/ratters.com/httpdocs/phpGedView/edit_privacy.php on line 1361

My first time using PhpGedView. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Ken,

Are you using a *nix system? If so, do you have enough rights to write to the file privacy.php? If this file is not writeable then you can expect several errors at once.

If you are on a Windows system, make sure the file is not read only.

Regards,

Roland

Hi Ken,

what Roland wrote about a readonly privacy file under windows is correct. If the file is write protected the errors you tolk are shown.

If you use a windows system change remove the read only attribute of the privacy-file you are trying to edit.

For the future a check is build into the privacy editor to prevent the error messages and it tells you that the persmissions are not set as it is neede :-)

Thanks for the bug message...

bye, Kurt

Thanks for the fast responses!

Like I said,I am new to this.

I had permissions set incorrectly for the privacy.php file. I didn't see that one listed in the installation instructiuons so must have missed it. All set and working great now!

Thanks again for the help.
