Editing config files through the GUI

Hi,

On the demo server, files in Administration -> Fileserver are listed as content type text/xml and there's an "edit file" tab.

On a fresh install of RS 2.2.1-5602, all files have a content type of app/octetstream and there is no "edit file" tab.

As a workaround editTextFile works from the command-line.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Editing config files through the GUI

Hi Mike,

thanks, I've create a ticket to look into this. The config files should be generated as "text/xml".

As a second workaround: You can simply change the content type to "text/xml". After reloading the item (load a different file, and then the one you changed) you should be presented with the "edit file" tab.

Regards,
Arno

ps. how did you install ReportServer? Installer, or manually?

Re: Editing config files through the GUI

Thanks Arno; I installed ReportServer manually on Linux by extracting the zip under /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/reportserver. I used the Oracle database creation script.

In case it makes any difference - the first time I started Tomcat I forgot to fix the permissions on /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/reportserver; the directory was not writable by tomcat.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Editing config files through the GUI

This is no longer an issue after a fresh install, making sure the webapp directory and internaldb directory were writable before starting Tomcat for the first time.

Thanks,
Mike
