[weird]

In the Web Applications area of Dev Studio, I cannot edit certain files - any file with a file-type other than "html". I can rename any file to have "html" as file type and then edit it, but I cannot edit htm, txt, js ,css files - I get this error: 
FOC1562 EDAGET: FILE FMARIAN/file-name NOT FOUND error


We have APPLOCK set to ON (I'm not sure what this does, specially since I haven't authenticated anywhere).

I think that there are web calls to open and save the files when editing from Dev Studio.

Do you have access to the WF servers console ?

Can you edit from there.

I guess it could be Web Server related.

It is a weird one.

Sounds like a WebDAV issue. Not sure if WebFOCUS even uses it, but it is a way to edit files on a remote server via another facility. Seems like it kinda fits with the MRE/Web Server paradigm.

Still weird - in an App Folder in the Web Applications area I can edit a file named "menu1.htm.bak", but I cannot edit one named "menu1.htm".

If an EDAGET has a problem, then I guess the issue is with the WebFOCUS server and the machine its running on.

I have seem similar issues here many years ago, when the Webserver was running under another user, adn all the files created were owned by "nobody". although we could read the files, we could not do anything else.

Perhaps you could check to see who owns the files and what are the privileges, including the subfolders.

Just issue a ! ls -al against the directory and see.

Waz,

This is a three tier environment, with the web server on Windows Server and the reporting server on AIX. So, the "Web Applications" are on the Windows server and the "Data Servers" are on AIX. The only way to access these environments is via Dev Studio - we do not have FTP or shell access.

Thanks,


Francis

I guess that it is related to the web server on windows. As its a three tier env, only the web components are on the web server.

I'm probably off the mark, but I would check out the privileges on the files of the web server, and what user the web server is running under, if its taking your privileges, What the WebFOCUS web app is running under, etc.

I guess you don't have access to the windows machine the webserver is running on, a share.


Although I don't think that it will test this specific issue, have you logged into the WebFOCUS Administration Console and done a verification test under Diagnostics ?
