[TW5] Tiddlyspot does not save since a few days ago

[Arkady Grudzinsky]

I have a couple of TW5 files on Tiddlyspot.  I was able to save them before.

A few days ago, there was a glitch on the website - it could not display files and showed some Apache default page.

I believe, after that I cannot save my TW5 files anymore.  If I make changes to the TW5 file, the "Save" button turns red.  Then there is a notification "Starting to save wiki".  It is usually followed by "Saved" notification, but currently the "Saved" never comes and the "Save" button remains red.  If I reload the page, the changes are not saved.

* This happens to ALL TW5

* This happens on ALL browsers I have tried on my system:

  * Chrome

  * Firefox

  * Luakit

* The same happens on my Android phone using Chrome Browser

I checked the password in ControlPanel.

Since the problem happens on multiple browsers, OS, and files, I tend to think, there is an issue with Tiddlyspot.

I have downloaded the files and have to use them locally for the time being.

Does anyone have the same issue or knows what's going on?

Thanks.

It's broken for everyone.  The browser reports a response code of 500, which is a non-specific "server error".

One thing you noted is the brief appearance of the Apache default page.  This suggests that the server software was re-installed, and there is some lingering configuration problem (maybe permissions or owner for store.php ??).  If that is the case, then it is only a matter of time before one of the Baird brothers fixes it.  In the mean time, TiddlySpot will still serve existing TWs, but you can't save any changes.  :(

That makes sense. Someone pointed out that one of the commands in store.php is now obsolete. It was a quick patch, but an actual code change.

I remember seeing that post not too long ago.  Based on my hypothesis that the server software was re-installed, I would also guess that the version of PHP was updated, in which case, the now obsolete function would cause the existing TiddlySpot store.php to fail, producing exactly the results we are seeing. 

Unfortunately, given GoogleGroups poor search function, it's not easy to find the message that described the fix (IIRC, it was a single line of code).  If you can find that message and post a follow-up link to it, the Bairds can apply that fix and hopefully get TiddlySpot saving working again.

I think I found the post regarding the obsolete function:

Hopefully this will help result in a quick fix for TiddlySpot.

Seems resolved now.

Was just going to say the same.  Working for me too.
