Top TTX Issues

1.  Template HTML edits do not reflect in TTX...  or Broken image links... or non-secure item on SSL page...  or Tickets do not appear in Helpdesk page.

Did you move or copy your TTX to a new server?  New Secure (SSL) URL?  Did you remember to update all the URL paths in the ttxcfg.cgi config file?  Very common issue.

All users' logins & passwords including the Admin's are editable via the Setup program ( /setup.cgi ) and saved in the users.cgi file.
