CMS Messages don't save when app run from USB drive

[jdalbey]

When CPTMS is run from a USB drive, intermittently the CMS message from the edit dialog doesn't get saved.

Sometimes the python server will show

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/CGIHTTPServer.py", line 248, in run_cgi
    os.execve(scriptfile, args, env)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

after the GET /cgi-bin/saveCMSmessage.py call

It turns out that when the USB drive is formatted as FAT32 then the file permissions are not maintained when the files are copied to the drive. Importantly, the execute permission is removed from the python scripts in the cgi-bin folder.

A quick workaround to the problem is to manually turn on execute permission on the python scripts. Once you have copied the files from the USB stick to your hard drive, issue these commands:

cd webapps/cgi-bin
chmod a+x *

Ally reports the above workaround doesn't solve the problem for her.
Chrome sometimes reports:

Unchecked runtime.lastError:
The message port closed before a response was received.
