I have a D6 site that I'm trying to migrate over to a Slackware (Linux) machine. The site uses your Timeline module, but like so many others, I'm having problems making everything work nicely with the SIMILE library.

When I go into the Timeline settings page to save the configuration, I get the following error output:
The selected file /net/web/foobar/sites/default/files/fileX0pt3x could not be uploaded, because the destination sites/default/files/timeline/local_variables.js is not properly configured.

The inconsistency to note is that the configuration on the settings page appears to get saved anyway despite this error output and it acts as if the SIMILE library IS found. So maybe I'm misinterpreting the output? Maybe the library IS found and there's a different problem in play here? Perhaps it's a file permissions issue?

Here's a contextual view of my files' permissions:

  • /sites/default/files/timeline = 775
  • /sites/default/files/timeline/local_timeline.js = 644
  • /sites/all/modules/timeline = 755
  • /sites/all/libraries = 755
  • /sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline = 755
  • /sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline/timeline_ajax = 755
  • /sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline/timeline_js = 755

All files and directories are owned by my username, not "apache".

Could someone please shine some light on this?

I have the following in my local_variables.js file:
var Timeline_ajax_url = '/foobar/sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline/timeline_ajax/simile-ajax-api.js'; var Timeline_urlPrefix= '/foobar/sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline/timeline_js/';
