Clicking the Edit button displays an error message
The user may not have proper read/write permissions on the server to edit the page, or the shared settings file may
be corrupt or changed.
To learn how to check the server's folder permissions, refer to the documentation supplied with the server operating
system.
If the server's read/write permissions are properly set, you may have a corrupt shared settings file. If this is the case,
you must delete the shared settings file from the web server and create a shared settings file.
To delete the shared settings file:
Connect to the server, either by mounting it on your desktop (Macintosh) or by logging in to it (using an FTP
1
client, telnet, SSH, or similar software).
Note: You can't perform this procedure from a web browser.

On the server, open the root folder of your Contribute website, and then open the _mm folder that's inside the
root folder.
A typical Windows directory path for the _mm folder might be:
\\myServer\wwwroot\mySite\_mm
A typical UNIX directory path for the _mm folder might be:
/myServer/webServer/mySite/_mm
The shared settings file is stored in the _mm folder.
Delete the shared settings file.

The Administer Websites dialog box appears.

Click Done, or proceed to administer the website.
