problems about weathermap

I use weathermap editor to create a map, when I click weathermap editor, the page returns error message:
"The map config directory is not writable by the web server user. You will not be able to edit any files until this is corrected. [WMEDIT01]"
and also when I want to revise an already existed map, when I click a button, after revising some information and submit, refresh the page but nothing changed.
I am so confused about this. Anyone can help me ?

you need to give the webserver user (most likely apache) write access to your WM config directory ( /"cati install folder"/plugins/weathermap/configs).

thanks a lot.
I use this command: chmod 777 /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/configs
and the problem was solved.

Hey everyone, I'm attempting to edit a few of our network maps here, however, when I goto the url "cacti/plugins/weathermap/editor.php" I recieve a Warning msg.

This warning includes the following:

"WARNING - Sorry, it's partly laziness on my part, but you really need JavaScript enabled and DOM support in your browser to use this editor. It's a visual tool, so accessibility is already an issue, if it is, and from a security viewpoint, you're already running my code on your server so either you trust it all having read it, or you're already screwed.

If it's a major issue for you, please feel free to complain. It's mainly laziness as I said, and there could be a fallback (not so smooth) mode for non-javascript browsers if it was seen to be worthwhile (I would take a bit of convincing, because I don't see a benefit, personally)."

Now please understand, I'm not just the average user...

Here are some of the steps that I have undergone to come up with a solution to this.

1. Restart PC
2. Ensure Java is running
3. Test on a different browser (I.E. Firefox, Inernet Explorer, Avant)
4 I have tested on several of the boxes in the office

And even after all of this, I still don't understand what would have caused this much of an issue...

Can someone help me understand what I need to do to resolve this annoying conflict.

Thanks in advanced everyone!

Okay,

Thanks for the heads up on the difference on the two subjects there...

I have ensured that the javascript is enabled, however I have not looked into the .js file that you mentioned.

Thanks for the quick response and sorry for my ignorance on this subject, I am trying to learn this as quickly as possible.
