Cannot Edit Themes - Various errors (3 posts)

    Our WordPress 2.8.6 installation is returning multiple different errors when trying to edit theme files via wp-admin. The errors are as follows:

    "Invalid index."
    "The data area passed to a system call is too small"
    "The parameter is incorrect."

    We've tried deactivating all plugins to no avail. We also tried creating a blank "plugins" directory and also still experienced these errors. Some theme files we are able to edit (very few), but most give one of the three errors above. We also tried switching back to the WordPress Default theme with the same results.

    This installation is running on a Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6, PHP 5.3.0, FastCGI 6.1.36.1, and MySQL 5.1.40-community.

    Can you edit theme files with a text editor over FTP or SFTP?

    ask Microsoft what the problem is -- those are Windows errors, not wordpress errors.

    In the meantime, edit the files locally as suggested above, or rdp into the box and edit them that way, if you have that sort of access.
