Unable to modify props.conf

[smolcj]

Hi,
When I am trying to modify props.conf in the local directory of my app,
"Please check whether the file i opened in another program" dialog box is displaying.
I tried restarting the splunk services and also tried "...| extract reload=T" in spunk web.
Help me please
Thanks in advance

The problem is that the folder is locked by solunk.
so i copied the relevant file changed them and copy them back.

Thanks MHibbin
permissions was the issue.

I'm guessing this is on Windows..

Have you checked that you have "full control" of that file in the permissions section of properties?

You could also try stopping Splunk and modify the file and restart Splunk.

I Still cant modify the Prop.conf

Is there away to do it in the Web UI?
