there wasn't any error at all, it loads accordingly, problem is i just can't see the save button with the same interface as that of any component.
by the way, i'm using a local server in my PC. i'm not uploading files to another server. so i changed all the permissions to chmod 777. where can i also find the server log error in joomla?

@wolverine: thanks bro, i've read the threads you linked. unfortunately i can't find the solution there. any other thoughts on it?
