XF 2.1 I get the Oops error when trying to update permissions. Any help out there please?

Check the server error logs.

You can try setting debug mode in src/config.php if it's making it that far:
$config['debug'] = true;

That may expose an error message, though it depends when the issue is happening.

Otherwise, you may need to enable display_errors in your php.ini to see if that outputs anything. (Alternatively, you may need to set PHP's error_log to a file to ensure that fatal errors are logged there to try to get to the bottom of this.)

Thanks ... a bit outwith my knowledge Im afraid. Strange that it just started happening. Was fine last time I was in changing permissions.

Ask your host to take a look for the cause of the 500 error then. A 500 error is fairly generic so more information will be needed to determine the cause.

Do you have modsecurity running on the server? If so have your host check that as well. Someone else had the same issue as you, and found modsecurity was causing the issue.
