In case the user is different (e.g. `www-data` ), it is not possible to check in files, this has the effect that the topic version number does not increase when saving a topic.

The data files must be writable by the owner the CGI scripts are running on ( usually `nobody` ). Hint: You can set permissions of `.txt` and `.txt,v` files to `-rw-rw-rw-` and then edit the topic using your browser, RCS will restore the file permission correctly when saving the topic. * Change `webcolor.inc` to a color of your taste. The number represents the unique color for the web (consult an HTML book for colors.) **_Note:_** The file must not have a new line, just the number without a return. * Customize `weblist.inc` (web specific links on top) if needed. - * Add the new web in `twiki/data/wikiwebs.inc` (web specific links on top) and `twiki/data/wikiwebtable.inc` (table of all webs at the end of the [[WbHome]] topics). + * Add the new web in `twiki/data/wikiwebs.inc` (web specific links on top) and `twiki/data/wikiwebtable.inc` (table of all webs at the end of the [[WebHome]] topics). * In case you need a web specific copyright notice (at the bottom), copy file `webcopyright.inc` from the `twiki/data` directory to the new data directory, and customize it. * If needed, create customized templates in the new templates directory. (Non existing templates are inherited from `twiki/templates` ) * If you want to use a category table, copy the three files `twikicatitems.tmpl` , `twikicatedit.tmpl` and `twikicatview.tmpl` from the `twiki/templates/Know` directory to the new templates directory, and customize it. The TWiki Category Table section has more. + * In case you want usage statistics for this web: Copy file `WebStatistics.txt` from the `twiki/data/Main` directory to the new data directory.
