Hi,

I'm running aolserver 40r10 and openacs 5.2.x. I have found that if I mv
a file or directory while openacs/aolserver is running, something gets
confused about the move.

For example, I move dennis.adp to dennis.adp.old and move test.adp to
dennis.adp. This is a no no apparently?

Ok, fine. But sometimes you do it. Now, I try to access dennis.adp and
get a "file not found" even though there is a file called dennis.adp there.

I restart openacs/aolserver. I still get "file not found". I reboot the
machine. I still get "file not found".

Is there some way to clear whatever is getting cached or whatever is
getting confused by the mv?

Could you try to reproduce this with a vanilla AOLserver and a barebones
config .tcl (like the sample-config.tcl that ships with AOLserver)?
This will at least identify if the problem is in AOLserver or in your
application code (i.e., OpenACS).

Also check the permissions on your file
not having read permission for the web server user, will give you a 404
as well

This is the most likely cause of the behavior you are describing. Likely the
nsd process is running as a different user than the one you are logged in as
.

This might seem a bit obvious but have you tried refreshing the page in
your browser or clearing your browser cache? I know that Firefox for
example is a sod for keeping "file not found" for urls that you know are
now working.

embarassingly, the problem was mine. Not aolserver's. I overwrite a file
with an older version.

I have noticed that firefox 1.5 caches more aggressively than previous
versions, so I do a lot more cache clearing.
