I'm trying to set up .Text 0.95 at http://www.red-abstract.com/users

I have a web.config that is using the Multiple2 example... I've edited everything and the like.

Created a new blog with dottexthelper for the username "Vermyndax"... record is inserted, although I'm somewhat confused about what the application name should be.

I created a folder called "vermyndax" and added an empty default.aspx file (the wildcard thing isn't for me sorry).

When I try to login, I get:

A blog matching the location you requested was not found

I'm confused. What does the name of the subfolder need to be? The username of the blog? Argh.

Okie, I'm thoroughly messed up now.

I've decided to dump the config of the above site and went with creating a whole new web site with the URL of "http://blogs.red-abstract.com"... I want this to be a multiple blog site (aggregate).

The database string is set properly, the email string is set properly... but I get an error on the login page. The aggregate site actually comes up properly as well, but trying to login returns an error of:

..Text - Application Error!
Details

A blog matching the location you requested was not found. Host = [blogs.red-abstract.com], Application = [login.aspx]

So in my web.config (I used multiple2_web.config since it says it was for weblogs.asp.net) I have:

		<!-- Aggregate Blog Stuff -->


		<add key="AggregateTitle" value = "A .Text Community" />


		<add key="AggregateUrl" value = "http://blogs.red-abstract.com" />


		<add key="AggregateDescription" value = ".NET by .Text" />


		<add key="AggregateHost" value = "blogs.red-abstract.com" />

My database record for my blog says:

Host: blogs.red-abstract.com
Application: Vermyndax

I have properly enabled wildcard processing in IIS as per the instructions.

*what* have I done wrong? I saw somewhere that Scott mentioned that someone with this similar problem was using the wrong web.config, but I have also tried multiple1_web.config with the same results.

I'm soooo confused.

Vermyndax,

When using the multi-blog like you are doing, you cannot use the admin directly off the root ala:

http://blogs.red-abstract.com/admin/

Instead you have to have a valid blog user name in there ala:

http://blogs.red-abstract.com/vermyndax/admin/

I think this might be your problem.

Err, when I go to:

http://blogs.red-abstract.com/vermyndax/admin

I get a 404 - page not found.

which blog config are you using? You should be using Multiple1_Web.config. Also be sure you have a blog defined in your blog_Config with an application name of vermyndax...

Can you go to blogs.redabstract.com/vermyndax ? or does that return a 404 as well?

Okie, this is bizarre. This is a Windows 2003 server I'm working on. I had inserted the wildcard mapping according to the Wiki, but when I remove it and address an aspx page directly, everything works.

i.e.
http://blogs.red-abstract.com/vermyndax/admin
does NOT work

but:
http://blogs.red-abstract.com/vermyndax/admin/default.aspx
DOES work.

This is with the wildcard mapping disabled. If the wildcard mapping is enabled, NONE of the above work.

Weird?

Good grief. I need to get my eyes checked. Forgot to UNCHECK "Verify that file exists."

awesome! Glad to see you got it working.
