Can't change administration settings for website

[sazaroo]

Hi there

We've had a change of address for our website and I want to change the
administration settings to reflect these changes but once I make any changes
and click OK to come out of admin settings, I get the ever so useful error
message of.....

Contribute cannot save your changes to the website's shared settings on the
server

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong??

cheers

Hi Sarah,

did you try editing your previous connection or create a new connection.

Hi I am getting this same error using CS3. I simply cannot make changes to the
user roles/publishing rights.

It tries to transfer contribute.xml to the server and it chokes with the
message

"Contribute cannot save your changes to the website's shared settings on the
server"

I am a very experienced Contribute user going back several versions and I
can't seem to get past this problem. Never had it before on any other sites.

I've tried administering the site from Dreamweaver, I've removed the _mm
folder from the server and gone through the whole process several times and it
keeps choking when I try and administer the site.

Can anyone help or explain?

Check that the .csi file in the _mm folder is NOT read only. If on a webserver, make sure that the permissions are set properly (e.g. the file needs to be writable).
