Trouble editing styles

[Alan Van Vliet]

When I try to edit a style, I click on edit and get a blank page in I.E. 7. When I check properties, it shows 0 bytes, but when checking the file it exists as a small scripting file.

Any thoughts? Thanks for any help!!!

Have you tried editing the files directly?
It doesn't solve your problem but as a work around you can get to the files

[malum]

BTW it's behaving the same way for me. In Firefox and IE 6
My FTP is down at the minute though so it may be something to do with that, check that your FTP is working

[Alan Van Vliet]

Will do. Thanks for the response. AL

I'm having trouble with this too. Is there a solution or does it just not work as designed? This thread seems to left hanging.

Editing style files in EE Admin requires that:
- your server's ftp server is on and it has been set up with correct permissions to create files in template folders.
- you have set up "EE home ftp server" in FTP Server Setup properly. All test must pass. It is preferred to select "EE internal ftp library" as FTP engine.

I'm not sure where the problem is. I have EE setup on my Mac at home to do the upgrade from 1.5 to 2.02 and to experiment with before I upload to my host server. My Mac has MAMP installed and I have enabled FTP sharing. I am using localhost for my FTP server. MAMP uses port 8888 for apache and 8889 for mySQL. Using Filezilla to navigate to my gallery folder the path shows up as /Users/Steve/Sites/gallery so I have /Users/Steve/Sites/gallery/test for the test folder and /Users/Steve/Sites/gallery for ftp path to EE root.

With FTP engine set at "PHP ftp module" and "passive" and "do incremental" selected I get the following test results:
FTP Sever Setup test: all green
LIST STRUCTURE: all green except EE ROOT FOLDER: NOT FOUND
EE Home FTP Server test: all green
FIND EE ROOT: test report just says FIND FTP PATH FOR EE HOME and nothing else. Messages has a bunch of this kind of stuff:
msg 136943 | internal ftp: LISTING ALL

0 =>
name =>
size =>
date =>
dir =>0
With FTP ENGINE set to "EE internal ftp library" I get errors like this:

msg 137282 | internal ftp: EXIT DONE.
msg 137281 | internal ftp: data sockets closed
msg 137280 | internal ftp: command sockets closed
msg 137279 | internal ftp: passive mode failed, can not go on...
possible reasons:
- passive mode is not enabled for your ftp account.
- firewall in either this server or remote ftp server blocks ports available in ftp server's passive mode port range.
- connection was terminated before PASV command.

I also have a test setup of 2.02 on a subdomain on my host server at Wiredtree and I have a similar except it doesn't give me "can't open passive connection" errors

Both of these upload and resize files ok.

Hope you can help with this. I have been wanting to get the upgrade do for 2 years but haven't had the time to devote to it.

Thanks,
Steve

Perhaps you're on IPv6 enabled network?

If you Google "Address family not supported by protocol family" you get e.g.

"What you are experiencing is the standard 10.2.x problem.
Apple have screwed up their BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) implementation. "

Perhaps you're on IPv6 enabled network?
All I can see in network settings is:
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic

I don't know anything about IPv6.


"What you are experiencing is the standard 10.2.x problem.
Apple have screwed up their BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) implementation. "This looks like a OS10.2 issue. I am running 10.5.6

My test setup on my host server at http://www.wiredtree.com/ allows me to edit the stylesheet (last time I tried it I didn't think it did) so it must something in my home setup.

[DLP]

Actually the EE I have on my hosted server, even though it allows me to edit the stylesheets, has errors when I do FTP server tests. The results seem contradictory. I get the following:

FTP Servers:
test now: all green
LIST STRUCTURE: FOUND EE ROOT FOLDER IN FTP PATHS: NOT FOUND

EE Home FTP Server:
test now: all green (including CHECK IF EE HOME DIRECTORY: OK
FIND EE ROOT: The report just says FIND FTP PATH FOR EE HOME and nothing else. What should it say?

If EE Home FTP server test says EE root is OK why does the LIST SRUCTURE say not found? is this a bug?

[Pekka]

If EE home is not found in "EE home ftp server" test then ftp editor can not work as it can not find tmp folder(s).

Use any standard ftp client and browse to EE installation folder where you see file "this_is_ee20.php". Give ftp command PWD . It shows you the ftp path you need to input in "ftp path to EE root" textarea. Update ftp servers and try again.
