Error "... changes cannot be saved"
I just edited my Front/Home Page to add a picture and to modify text and layout slightly and it worked OK the first time.
I just wanted to get a picture or two from our Youth Christmas presentation from this morning up on the site right away.
I then returned (same Admin account because my user account had been denied edit access and I didn't want to take the time to sort that out) and tried to Preview and then Submit and in both cases received this error:
"This content has been modified by another user, changes cannot be saved."
The Revision record shows my first edit, I don't understand why this error would appear - it is normative to edit and publish incrementally until satisfied with the result.
Must I have toggled something incorrectly somewhere, please?
Note: This is the only Page or Story on the site so far.
Thanks!
I've only experienced this
I've only experienced this myself once before... I believe it happened when I opened a page to edit it, then opened another copy of the same page to edit that without noticing - I edited the second page and saved that, got mixed up and tried to save the original page I had opened as well. I then got that error. Anyhow I don't think it should be an issue past that time it came up for you. If the error is constant though, that's an unusual problem. I would suggest installing the Devel module in that case and using its "Clear Caches" link, and that might help.
I think that I had another
I think that I had another logged-in window open.
I tend to work with six to eight windows open and sometimes I
will forget and have more than one logged-in to the same site.
Blessings to all from sunny Florida!

I Broke My Home/Front Page Again!
I was following along with the Geeks&God PodCast jumping around to try and see what they were discussing.
In a couple of cases they recommended toggling certain settings on and off. Where they seemed innocuous I made the changes.
Now I have lost the formatting and images on my home/front page and I cannot see why.
Help?
A blessed CHRIST-mas to all!

A suggestion regarding staging
David,
I looked at your site this morning and I'm not sure what has happened. Can you tell us what settings you were trying out? I've not seen a problem just like that myself so I don't have an answer for that.
However, I would suggest that you work with a staging site when trying out new things. For example, for our church site we have the main site, www.newhopeks.org, and then the staging site test.newhopeks.org. Each of these sites have their own separate Drupal installation and database. The staging site is just for my eyes and the eyes of others reviewing changes.
Whenever I need to install a new version of Drupal or want to see if a particular module would help me solve a problem, I install it on test.newhopeks.org. If there's a problem, I don't break the main site. If it works well, then I copy the files from test.newhopeks.org to www.newhopeks.org and then perform the same database changes. If something breaks, I clear out the files and database and make a fresh copy from www.newhopeks.org and a new database import.
And just a note to be clear, I do not use the staging site for typical updates. If I'm just adding a new node or other routine edits, these all happen on the production server directly.
Cheers.
I fixed the problem,
I fixed the problem, switched from admin to a user named webadmin, created a new Page and pasted in new HTML and Javascript, and made the default home/front page /home
I am waiting for a reply from our web host http://bdarby.com re. creating a subdomain staging site. He doesn't think that Fantastico/MySQL under CPanel will allow me to create a second database in a subdomain.
I am also waiting for XAMPP to be ported to Puppy Linux so I can stage or experiment 100% local on my laptop.
Thanks!
A blessed CHRIST-mas to all!

Right I don't think
Right I don't think Fantastico will work for that... as I mentioned though, please please please get rid of the Fantastico-installed version of Drupal - it will only be a source of trouble in the future.
Just make a regular sub-domain in Cpanel, make a regular MySQL database following the steps I mentioned in my other post, upload Drupal to the sub-domain's file location, and during installation of Drupal point it to that new database. You can share the same user/password if you like (a single user can have access to multiple databases).
Are they actually currently porting XAMPP to Puppy Linux? I tried to look into it a bit for you and didn't find much helpful information, other than one outdated version of XAMPP. I've never actually heard of Puppy Linux before you mentioned it... out of curiosity - why did you choose it over some of the better-known distros like Ubuntu?
God bless.
I will see if my server
I will see if my server host, bdarby.com, is OK with uploading an independent version of Drupal. He has been very helpful so far.
I tried a ton of distros, including a couple that are now defunct like Stormix, and just was not happy.
Puppy is one of the most user-friendly without the code-bloat common to distros like RedHat and SuSE. The folks who created Puppy are readily available and love to problem-solve for users.
Puppy is also friendly to customized versions, will boot from CD, DVD, USB, and SD, and there are versions to run on ancient PC's all the way up to leveraging the power of newer ones.
Happy New Year!
