I have just updated my installation to the latest release with the comfort system

I did not have permission to save any files.

Changed the owner of all of the limesurvey installation to www-data

Now I cannot save any template mods. a 'save' or 'save and exit' simply bounces ne to kcfinder /files

( I've never come across kcfinder before so I'm a little stumped )

What version/build did you used before updating Limesurvey?
On what version/build is this problem occuring now?
What OS is Limesurvey running on?

Running on Ubuntu ( this is happening on two servers 12.04 lts and 15.10 )

I started developing on a test server on 12.04 with LS 2.50 ( installed 2 weeks ago from limeserver site download ) and migrated across to an Ubuntu 15.10 server when the original one got slow due to other sites.

This morning i upgraded the installation on the 15.10 server to Version 2.50+ Build 160408 using the comfort upgrade.

I lost the ability to save the template the survey uses.

I then migrated a couple of surveys back to the 12.04 box. test a few things and all seemed well.

I then upgraded the installation on the 12.04 box and now I have the same problem on both boxes

i have just created a new template ( copy default template 0 works great and saves under the new name.

Tried to allocate this template to a survey and ........ I get the KCfinder window when I click save or save/continue

I have found a bugticket where you can add information.
10893: KCfinder error
bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=10893

Since LS 2.5 is updated on nearly daily basis it is important to know the build of LS 2.5.
What was the last version/build of Limesurvey you used, where you didn't have that issue?

Hi Thanks!

I have just updated my reply to you.

the original version I installed ( still got the download ) was 250+ build 60317

the version I upgraded to this morning must then be 250+ build 60408

I'll head over to the bug and update it there.

Now ...... if you have used 2 comfort updates to do this do you get them credited back as the updates broke my survey !!!

I am afraid that isn't the case.

I have commented on the bugtracker and added a link to this thread. There are some issues around kcfinder with certain installations.
Currently it seems to be not clear how to get it work for everybody.

I am still on LS 2.06LTS and don't use LS 2.5. So I cannot provide any more insight or help with that issue.

Not sure what KCFinder even does but it seems not to do it reliably!

I'm going to try to unwind my upgrade and see how it goes.

Thanks for the info though

Backing out to release 60317 fixed the issue!

back to work!
