That’s a problem with the wiki/web architecture as it currently stands.

You can activate the service on each of the sites under server admin. So far so good. However, you have to select which site will host the wiki/blog in the workgroup admin.

The problem is that the default web pages that generate the lists of available wikis are global to the system, but you can only access them by the selected URL in the workgroup admin.

The blog and wiki components are separate motors, despite them looking very similar.

So on a multi-site server, the blogs will be available at all of them, but the wiki application will only permit access from the named URL and give you the 404 if you try to access it from the raw IP address or any other named site.

However, I still haven’t found any way to get the web service to filter out the available groups by site or determine which site a group belongs to. I’m sure it’s buried in a pliste file somewhere, but I still haven’t found it.

Just chiming in on this one. I had a hell of a time getting this to run reliably, but it’s working now and can say the following:
properly setup DNS is absolutely essential
you can run it on 80 or 443 but not both at once
you must use fully qualified names on the site and on the browser

I’m running around a bit right now but I’ll try to answer questions on the forum. I’ll try and put together a detailed procedural list but I’m not sure when I’ll have the time.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]I don’t have the blog exposed… but I’d have a hard time thinking it wouldn’t work…

1. Configure the default website to actually be a real one by putting in a dns name.

2. Enable the wiki/blog/calendar and the like on the website.

3. Turn on web services.

4. Use WGM to create a group.

5. Give that group access to a blog, the site created in 1 shows up in the pulldown.

6. There is no step 6.

Did this with an SSL cert as well, FWIW.[/p][/QUOTE]

Just a quick note regarding step 4. It must be a group in the LDAP directory or it will be ignored. At least in my experience, local groups are ignored.

Every time I try to configure the web service I run up against this message. even after blowing away the old.conf file.

[quote:fa368d7ed7]Sorry but the feature you tried to access cannot be used. You may write a bug against ìServer Admin Web/X Serverî. Exception is:
