Question

I installed TWiki-4.1.2 on a hosted site (awardspace.com). I had to use RcsLite. The configuration scripts comes with no "errors" nor "warnings". Everything is working all right so far. My only problem is that I cannot attach files. It comes with a "Read-only" file system error. I already tried SettingFileAccessRightsLinuxUnix. Configure is still open if you want to take a look at it.

I do have ssh access to the site in case you need me to setup any kind of trace.

Thanks a lot.

This is what I get when I try to attach something:

Software error:

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

CGI open of tmpfile: Read-only file system sounds like the problem. I'm somewhat sure that uploading uses the tmp dir configured in configure - so i'd suggest moving that to a new dir under your twiki directory, with similar permissions to your data dir.
