Author missing /MCMS/SiteDeployment folder
Brian

Hello,

I've just reformatted my computer and gotten all the software loaded again.
I opened our MCMS solution from sourcesafe and everything has been working
great. When I went to export a package from Site Manager, I got the 404
error. I checked IIS logs and it was failing to find a file in the
mcms/sitedeployment/ folder.

That virtual folder doesn't exist in IIS nor can I find it anywhere on my
hard drive. Is my CMS install bad?

That's odd... was the site configured in the SCA as a MCMS web entry point?

You should have a web application named "MCMS" under the root of the virtual
server pointing to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\Server\MCMS

Within that MCMS web application, you should have another web application
named "SiteDeployment" pointing to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management
Server\Server\MCMS\SiteDeployment

That MCMS web application should also have a virtual directory (not web
application) named "CMS" pointing to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\Server\IIS_CMS

That should be created for you when you configure a virtual server as a web
entry point. All paths above assume the default MCMS 2002 installation.

Hi Brian,

it sounds as if you did not configure this web site as MCMS web entry point.
Or something went wrong during the installation.

Please open the SCA and verify if this website is a read-write web entry
point.
If yes, reconfigure to not being an entry point and then reconfigure it
again to be an read-write entry point.

This should recreate the virtual directory.

Cheers,
Stefan
