Attached File Not Posting

[Bill Tribley <bi...@tribley.us>]

Apache 2.2, Tomcat 5.5, J2SDK 1.5.06, roller-2.1.1
I posted an entry with a smiley and a jpeg image as draft using BlogJet. Both uploads are in the tomcat user home directory with world-readable permissions. The message showed up in the Draft folder (I never post from BlogJet direct, always draft, then adjust category, add title and publish within the Roller site). I published it, the color changed from yellow to white, I got the published message, I can search for and find text in the message but the blog entry does not appear. The attached files are preventing display somehow. 
Anyone else seen this? Will 2.2 fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Bill:

I haven't tried posting using BlogJet, but here are some things to check 
to help narrow down the problem:

(1) The uploaded images should be in the directory that you configured 
as the uploads.dir in the roller.properties file, under a subdirectory 
that is your blog handle name.  Check.

(2) Login directly to Roller using the normal web interface and  find 
the entry listed on Roller directly.  If you find it there, edit the 
entry directly on Roller to see the entry text using the plain editor 
(editor-text.jsp).  Check the img tags.  Make sure the src URLs look 
correct.  They should have the form 
http://yourhost/yourrollerapp/resources/yourbloghandle/filename, or the 
relative URL form of that. Correct them if necessary.  Try removing the 
img tags, publishing, and seeing if the entry appears.  This will help 
narrow down the problem.  If you have size parameters on the img tag, 
make sure they match the actual size of the image.  I encountered a bug 
with this behavior in Firefox with incorrect size parameters on JPG 
images causing the whole page to go blank.

Let us know how this goes.  Thanks,
