Define Pages Editor 412 Precondition Failed when saving files

I've installed the about us mod and created a further number of pages using this as a template (but changing the names).

When I'm in the admin and I use Define Pages Editor to edit a file, when I click save I get the following error message:

**412 Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /admin/define_pages_editor.php evaluated to false.
**
Do you think this is a permission issue or a setting I need to adjust in the admin?

All help appreciated!

Re: Define Pages Editor 412 Precondition Failed when saving files

What permissions do you have on the folder and files?

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Re: Define Pages Editor 412 Precondition Failed when saving files

Hi Kim, thanks for the quick responce.

This is the files and folders permissions for the about us page:

755 include/extra_datafiles
644 include/extra_datafiles/about_us_filenames.php
644 includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/mysitetemplate/about_us.php
644 includes/languages/english/html_includes/mysitetemplate/define_about_us.php
644 includes/languages/english/mysitetemplate/about_us.php
755 includes/modules/pages/about_us/
644 includes/modules/pages/about_us/header_php.php
755 includes/templates/mysitetemplate/templates/tpl_about_us_default.php
644 includes/templates/mysitetemplate/templates/tpl_about_us_default.php

It all seems ok to me, so perhaps it's something else? What do you think?

Re: Define Pages Editor 412 Precondition Failed when saving files

I've been testing this a bit more and the following pages don't throw up that error:

define_checkout_success
main_page
define_page_not_found

This is the address of when the error comes up
mysite.com/admin/define_pages_editor.php?lngdir=english&filename=define_returns.php&action=save

This is for the returns page.

Re: Define Pages Editor 412 Precondition Failed when saving files

If the files in /includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE aren't set to writable (usually 777) then the admin editor cannot save changes to them.
