chroniker Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 My archive isn't working so I must have something set wrong, but I can't find it so I need your help once again. Local Site Path: /home/demesne/public_html/ Site URL: www.demesneofallen.com Local Archive Path: /home/demesne/public_html/mt/archives Archive URL: www.demesneofallen.com/mt/archives/ Is the answer here, or do I need to look somewhere else?

TCH-Tim Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 If that's what's in Configuration --> Core Setup, then it should be ok. Do you have two installations of MT? www.demesneofallen.com gives me one site, and www.demesneofallen.com/mt/ gives me another. Can't find www.demesneofallen.com/mt/archives, although your source code says that's where individual posts are kept. Quote
kellybellydotnet Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I have no idea if this would make a difference, but in the MT configuration I think that the Local Paths should not have a slash after it, and the URLs should. They probably should have an http:// in them, too. So it should look like: Local Site Path: /home/demesne/public_htmlSite URL: http://www.demesneofallen.com/ Local Archive Path: /home/demesne/public_html/mt/archives Archive URL: http://www.demesneofallen.com/mt/archives/ Again, I have no idea if this will make any difference. Good Luck. Quote

chroniker Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 Well that did make a differnce. Now I get: The requested page could not be found. Smarty error: the $compile_dir '/home/demesne/public_html/templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. Uncommenting TemplatePath did not solve this either. Quote
chroniker Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 I have an archives.html located in /public_html/ with a permission of 644. And I have an archives folder (directory) located in /public_html/mt/, and my index files are located in /public_html/mt/. Do I need to change the locations or permissions? Quote
TCH-Tim Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I'm not seeing any archives folders anywhere. It does look like you have two installations of MT, or at least two index files. One at /public_html/ and one at /public_html/mt/. Each index file points to archives in a different location, but again, I can't see the archives folders. On permissions, my archives.php is set at 666. The archives folder is 755. Not sure what they are supposed to be at, but that works for me anyway. Quote
TCH-Tim Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Okay, so really you just have two index files. You should delete the one that you're not using. Why are you using umask settings in mt.cfg? DBUmask 0022 HTMLUmask 0022 UploadUmask 0022 DirUmask 0022 Try putting them back on their defaults, or commenting them out, and see what that does. Quote
TweezerMan Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 The requested page could not be found.Smarty error: the $compile_dir '/home/demesne/public_html/templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. That appears to be an error related to MT's dynamic publishing. You might want to take a look at the documentation on what you need to do in order to properly set up and configure MT for dynamic publishing, particularly step 2:2. Set up the template cache directory.In your weblog's root directory, create a new subdirectory named templates_c. It should have a permission mask of 777. You have to create the /home/demesne/public_html/templates_c directory yourself. Quote

I have index.html, rdf and xml in /public_html/ and in /public_html/mt/. I don't remember copying them out of /mt/ but obviously I did. After renaming them, I figured out that I am not using the ones located in /mt/. As for the umask settings, beats me. However I did comment them out. Movable Type 3 Bible Desktop Edition is on it's way. I already have Essential Blogging from O'reilly and in it I'm told that I have to create a new template for each catagory. So, can you guess what my next learning experience is going to be? My thanks to all. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Those umask settings only need to be uncommeted if you have installed your MT into the scgi-bin folder or using cgiwrap or suexec. # When creating files and directories, Movable Type uses umask settings to# control the permissions set on the files. The default settings for file # creation (HTMLUmask, DBUmask, and UploadUmask) are 0111; for directory # creation (DirUmask), the default is 0000. You should not change these # settings unless you are running MT under cgiwrap or suexec, or some other # scenario where the MT application runs as you; in addition, you should not # change these settings unless you know what they mean, and what they do.
