Publishing: cat_memberprofiles.html -> home/def9508/public_html/blog/archives/
Error publishing file to home/def9508/public_html/blog/archives/
Can't open that file: No such file or directory Rename/move failure: No such file or directory
Error publishing file to home/def9508/public_html/blog/archives/
Can't open that file: No such file or directory Rename/move failure: No such file or directory

I manually created the /blog, /blog/archives & /blog/media folders... checked & re-checked my base path and base url:

base path = home/def9508/public_html/blog
base url = http://www.wahmsunited.com/blog

so I'm totally stuck -- help!!!

SnowFlake,

Try prefixing your base path with "/"

base path = /home/def9508/public_html/blog

Ok... gee, another 30 seconds and I made some progress lol.

I wiped out all the info and re-entered it, and now it *looks* like I'm publishing .. no errors and the pings go out BUT... there's no blog in my blog directory?

http://www.wahmsunited.com/blog doesn't contain blog.html.. it's no where to be found actually...

Will keep playing..

Are you publishing to a remote web-server?

If so, try setting your base path to: /blog as the rest of the path shouldn't be needed.

Have you tried enabling the "Passive Mode" option on the FTP publishing options?

yes I have...

there's no reason that I can see for the settings I have not to work, not to mention I've tried every combination I can think of including setting up a separate ftp account.

There are no errors at all when publishing - but no files are created... keep getting an error 404 and logs are showing no file found.

aaarrrgghh.. and I had such high hopes for thingamablog

RSS Reader?

« Reply #7 on: July 04, 2005, 10:27:53 AM »

I don't seem to be able to add any new feeds to the RSS Reader either... the folder, + and - icons are all grey'd out.

Is it just me being weird? lol

just a thought... or two.

Just a thought but if you're using Windows XP are is your account an administrator account or a plain "user" account. XP is notorious for being fussy when it comes to user accounts. if that's the case make your account an administrator account (Control panel>users).

And a second thought: perhaps your firewall is blocking TAMB from actually sending the data? Turn off or modify the settings in your firewall to allow TAMB to work.

thanks for trying...

I am the admin on this puter (yup, running XP), and I added TAMB to my windows firewall exceptions with no change.

I emailed my host earlier today, and this is some of what she had to say:

Quote

I don't see the pages in the directory in cpanel but I do see them in there if I look at the directory from the shell! But of course we don't see them in a browser but get your 404 redirect page instead. Weirder yet the directory tree in the browser at http://wahmsunited.com/blog/archives/
doesn't show them either.

There are no errors that I can see. The server indicates the pages in the archive were uploaded successfully.

The permissions on the actual pages in /archive were a little strange so I tried both 644 and 755 for them and they still didn't come up in my browser. I even tried changing the 'group' where the group was 'nobody' like a cgi script but that didn't help either.

However there are no actual pages in the /blog directory itself. Now I *do* remember that issue from someone else who tried to automagically put his blog from somewhere else on his site too. I don't know what he did to resolve it but I know he wrote to moveabletype or wherever his blog was for support and they helped him fix the issue.

My instinct is telling me it is some kind of htaccess issue or something in the page or code itself...like maybe they're uploading as binary instead of as askii or maybe the page code is not defining them as <html>. Maybe they contain a base href that is not relative...something like that.

I've removed the 404 error page.. but still can't see anything. Now instead of receiving the 404 error page when trying to view blog.html, I'm getting a blank page.

WAAAHHHHH Sad

snowflake,

This is starting to freak me out

Here are are a couple things to try...

Add this line to the top of each of your templates

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Try importing an ordinary html file or jpg file into your "Web Files" folder then do a publish. Do they show up at the URL http://www.wahmsunited.com/blog/file_you_imported.html ?

Now about adding feeds... If you click on a feed folder, do the buttons light up? Also can you update the feeds? [/code]

Would you like the good news or bad news first Bob? LOL

Good News - the feed reader part now seems to be working.. though no matter what I pressed this afternoon the buttons didn't light up <gremlins I tell ya!>

The bad news is that I imported 2 files.. a .gif and a .html file and neither one are showing up in the /blog/ directory.

Don't mean to freak you out... but needless to say, I'm glad you installed this forum :lol:

Yeah that happens sometimes. I've read through this thread and I can't figure out why Thinga isn't working for Snowflake. Sad

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that my host can figure something out. She's awesome, but has been been dealing with 4th of July server attacks so didn't have much time to really dig into it today.

It makes no sense to me that I can see the files from SSH access:

Quote

archives archives.html blog.html media rss.xml styles-site.css

but they're not *viewable*. Course, I'm no expert in this area either...

I'm presuming that no one else that you know of has encountered this problem... just my dumb luck Sad

OMG -- I logged into my ftp account this morning and guess what I saw in my home directory? Huh

There it was.... the blog folder created by TAMB!!! I have no idea why it's publishing to that folder and not my public_html... but it is. I moved the files into my public_html/blog folder and TA DAAAAAA....

http://www.wahmsunited.com/blog/blog.html

SOOOOO.... the software is working, but it's not publishing to the the right spot!!!

my settings are /home/def9508/public_html/blog/ but it's not making it to the public_html folder. I just tried changing the Base Path to /blog/ only, but it did the same thing.
