Absolute path for external-editor-config

We're running TS 5.5.2 on Solaris. The fine manual says that external-editor-config "Specifies which configuration files can be used. The default file is /iw/config/visualformatconfig.xml. If the
pathstarts with a /, it is assumed to be an absolute path on the TeamSite Web server. Otherwise, the file is assumed to be in /iw/config."

I copied visualformatconfig.xml to "/tmp/visualformatconfig.xml" (and made sure it is world-readable). Then I set the external-editor-config value to "/tmp/visualformatconfig.xml." But the VFE window (in IE 6.0) doesn't display the usual VF toolbars then. Instead, it shows a single button that, when clicked, says, "Please run the client installation of contact your system administrator."

Changing the value of external-editor-config to just "visualformatconfig.xml" solves the problem. But I don't have write-access to the iw/config directory (or its parent directory [httpd]).

Ideas?

Thanks,

S.

fiquebem,
Did the problem got resolved ? I encountered similar problem. I think you should not put the config files in <iwhome>/tmp ( I am assuming that is what you have meant). I would suggest any directory under httpd should be fine.

If the path starts with a /, it is assumed to be an absolute path on the TeamSite Web server.

Unless you have made any custom changes, /tmp... is NOT in the path of TeamSite Web serve docroot, which is iw-home/httpd, not iw-home.
