404 errors

[Stephen Aho <du...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I dont know if this is the right place for help with my challenge, if not i
apologize and if so here goes.

I am running Roller 4.0 on Tomcat 6.0 with a Mysql 5.0 database.

I am up and running and named my roller server "blog" instead of "roller. As
I understand it that puts my roller instance at:
Http://www.mydomain.com/blog.

Now i used this address and made it thru all the set-up by following the
install instructions. I created and "admin" user and first blog and
desinagnated it as my front page in the admin section.

After all this that page disappeared and when i try to load
Http://www.mydomain.com/blog I get a 404 error.

Now if i load Http://www.mydomain.com/blog/myblog I get my front page.

My question is am i suppose to be able to load
Http://www.mydomain.com/blogand use that as the first "logon" page for
new users?

On top of all this, after i log in and get to my front page or my admin
page, if I try and log off i get a 404 error also and it seems it points to
Http://www.mydomain.com/blog as the log out default.

Im a total noob and am actually suprised i was able to get it running at
all..lol. I could sure use some help with these two seemingly simple issues,
Im sure im over looking something.

Thank you all,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Depending on how your hosting is set up, you might need to add a trailing slash to your url or you'll get 404 errors like this:
Http://www.mydomain.com/blog/

If that's not it, you should check your roller.log file.  I was getting out of memory errors in my log file and it was causing 404s.

If that's not it either, you can check the roller-startup.log and your tomcat log file to see if there are errors in there.  That might give you an idea of what the problem is.

Hope that helps,
/Brian
