I decided to make a folder into which i would store any html/css pages i made. The new folder i named new_pages is located in /Home/Username. I then put three new html/css pages into the new_pages folder no problem. But now when i try to open the new_pages folder in order to edit one of the pages stored there i am informed:
The file file:///home/username/new_pages could not be loaded,
as it was not possible to read from it.
Check to see if you have access to this file.
I did go to /Home/username/new_pages right clicked on the folder and then selected Properties -> Permissions and made sure that the Owner, Group, and Others categories each had the same option "Can View & Modify Content" and finally clicked on OK. But i still can access the new_pages folder.
So i went to the Main Menu -> System -> File Tools -> File Manager - Super User Mode and then typed in my password. But i could not locate the new_pages folder?
This is really doing my head in. So could someone come to my rescue please before i start pulling all my hair out! Any help and advice is really appreciated. thanks DD
In Linux, capitalization matters, so /Home/Username, /home/username and /Home/username are three different directories. If you're not paying attention to capitalization, that could be the whole problem.
Since no-one else has mentioned this, please use better thread titles in future. By "better", I mean ones that say something about the problem you're having. When you post a thread, you are told that tiles like "help me" are bad..
