If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Check the permissions of your data/Main directory. The user id under which your web server is running (varying with Linux distribution, e.g. wwwrun in SUSE) must have write access to the files in the directory, but also to the directory itself if it needs to create new files (like the ,v history files).

I gave all the permission to Main. apache is the owner of the entire directory of twiki. I still get the same issue.
