Apple’s Weblog Help Please

[jskoland]

I have a question. I just started of apple’s web service and enabled weblogs. I can login with a user in the OD and I am able to create a test Blog. But when I choose to upload a podcast I get this error

Can anyone help me out with this? What are the permissions that need to be set on this? I did move my default weblog directory from /Library/Application Support/Weblogs to another Volume

Any help would be greatly appreciated

i have the the same Error on my Weblog Server

I think the problem probably started when you moved the weblog folder to a different volume. I did the same thing and got some very weird errors. When I set the weblog service back to use the old folder (and reseting everything Blosjom), the blogs worked again.

I, too, need to know what the correct permissions should be for the new volume/blogfolder. Our Apple Edu SE doesn’t have a clue, so he’s not much help… Anyone else out there using 10.4.11 blogs out there with the weblog folder located on a different volume? Why would there even be an option to change the default weblog folder location, if it just broke the service every time you tried to move it?

Make sure that you assign the teams user/group RW permissions to the ./Collaboration directory.

I had personally set my Collaboration directory up on /Volumes/data0/Library/Collaboration since I do so much testing that I like to have all the data separated from the system.
