Can't create override templates, system silently fails

When I go into the "/node/view/full.tpl" template and create an override, I am sent back to the screen which reads "There are no overrides for the </node/view/full.tpl> template." and allows me to create an override template. There are no errors displayed, it just doesn't work.

Are there logs I can look at to see what happened, or is this a known issue with due to a misconfiguration?

Thanks

maybe you have not correct permissions in your settings folder? if you do your overrides throug admin you need to give the user running apache (or web server you have chosen) the rights to right in your settings/siteaccess/whatever/override.ini.append.php file.

How do I go about adding the user running apache permissions through the admin interface? or are you suggesting chmod?

I'm talking about chmod or chown commands. if you want to change settings through admin interface, you will probably need to chmod 777 your settings/siteaccess folder, or maybe chown www-data:www-data that folder, being www-data the user running apache (debian, ubuntu default i think)
