Build error 'CFURLGetFSRef failed - maybe the output directory doesn't exist?' Eclipse

I downloaded and installed the Adobe InDesign Plug-in Editor as an Eclipse distribution, the InDesign SDK and XCode on my iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.10. Creating an InDesign project works fine. I only have to drag-and-drop elements on a form and add some actions.
Unfortunately, I can't get the Ant Build working. I followed the video-tutorials on the Adobe labs site, but I'm still getting this error:
CFURLGetFSRef failed - maybe the output directory doesn't exist?
The error seems to be in the "/Adobe InDesign CS3 Products SDK/devtools/bin/odfrc-cmd" file. I guess it's a SDK problem.
Does anyone know what the reason is for this error? And maybe how I can fix it?

This is the full output.

This is fun BTW. Two days and two different silly errors applying themselves arbitrarily. Yesterday was the network, today its this.

heres the fix i used for on a Mac
1. While in the Finder, select the menu command Finder > Preferences.
2. In the General panel, ensure the option "Connected Servers" is selected under the heading "Show these items on the desktop:", then close the preferences dialog box.
3. Choose the menu command Finder > Hide Others.
4. Close all open Finder windows to ensure you can see all items on your desktop.

"Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The Output directory .... does not exist" - Looking for Solution Config Name Folder?

Good evening,
I've been working on and with a VS2013 Update 2 / Azure SDK 2.3 Cloud Service project for a while now and never had a problem debugging it (setting the .ccproj Project as Startup Project) but at the moment I cannot Debug it anymore - I always get the following
error message:
Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The output directory 'D:\Workspace\Development\Sources\AzureBackend\csx\Backend - Debug' does not exist.
Now what's odd here, is the last part - the "Backend - Debug" is the Solution configuration name, ALL projects in that particular solution configuration are set to the Debug Configuration. The .ccproj file also only specifies Debug|Any CPU (and
Release|Any CPU respectively) as its output folder(s). Why is the Solution config appearing up there?
And more importantly.. why is this happening and what can I do?!
Thanks,
-Jörg
Ps: there seems to be a related
connect bug and these sorts of issues do appear around the forums but none contains a solution (neither reinstalling the Azure SDK nor cloaking the workspace/re-retrieving & building everything worked).

Good morning Jambor,
I already tried de-installing everything Azure-Tooling related including the Azure SDK, Restarting my machine and re-installing the SDK.
Same result. I can build the .ccproj perfectly fine and the cspack file IS generated perfectly fine, only debugging does not work and there's NO information in the VS output window (again - all projects succeed to build).
I tried explicitely running VS as Administrator, no change. I removed all IIS Express sites (as the ccproj has one web worker role), remapped my local TFS workspace.. nothing helped.
As building works, deploying to Azure Cloud Service (manually and via Publish inside VS) all works -perfectly-, I am pretty sure this IS a bug and I'd LOVE to help to get this fixed. As I said, currently I cannot debug and/or run & test my work, hence
I cannot do ANY work.

Error: unable to copy to output directory, ReqMgmtActionsVO.xml not found

hi,
While running a page using jdeveloper am getting error like
Error: unable to copy to output directory, ReqMgmtActionsVO.xml not found.
am very thankful to the response
Thanks
Surya

Hi,
I faced the same issue.
I fixed it by searching the missing file (In my case MyEO.xml which is a removed file) using JDeveloper (Menu Search/Search Files...).
It found an occurence in the related .jpr file.
In the .jpr, I deleted the related lines:
<Item>
<Key class="java.net.URL" path="xx/oracle/apps/.../MyEO.xml"/>
<Value idref="15"/>
</Item>
That's it.

" An error occurred while creating the backup directory"

Hi all,
I recently bought an external drive because my mac was just about full.
It's made by Lacie, model # P'9231... (1TB)
I got it working, for moving and accessing files (I moved the iPhoto library-and that works fine)... but...
I told Time Machine to use it as the backup disk, but TM often tells be that the backup failed. I get this message;
"Backup failed. An error occurred while creating the backup directory"
I don't understand this. I did some experiments with Time Machine, and I've been able to restore some things, but I still keep getting this message.
I don't know what is getting backed up and what is not..
Did I do something wrong? Or, more importantly, what is the fix?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Jim

I'm having the same problem. I just got the drive Saturday at the local Apple store.
Have you figured it out?

Time Machine Error: An error occurred while creating the backup directory

Time Machine Error: Unable to complete backup. An error occured while creating the backup directory.
I back up to wirelessly to a Time Capsule. I get these errors often. I'll go for a few days with everything working and then encounter these errors. I've even completely erased the Time Capsule drive and started over. It'll work fine for a few days and then start the errors over again. Interestingly, when the errors occur, the Time Capsule drive can not be unmounted even if clicking the eject button. I am on 10.5.8 but it happened in 10.5.7 as well. I have another Mac that doesn't seem to have any issues with the same Time Capsule.
Here's a log - they all seem to fail with similar errors:

Viewer Builder error: 'Signing Failed'

What does the View Builder Error 'Signing Failed' mean when I download my developer or distribution apps from Viewer Builder? The dev IPA and dist ZIP files appear to download correctly despite the message, so what is it trying to tell me?
Ali

Righty, I turn to page 15 of the 'Adobe Publishing Process for iPad Viewer Apps' PDF as provided by my Adobe reseller. All the screenshots are blurred but no matter, I can probably muddle through.
The chapter is headed 'Setting up Apple Push Notification Service (Optional)'. At the end of the introductory text is a paragraph reading: 'Important: If you have already created an App ID and certificates, you can configure your App ID to enable push notifications. You don't need to create new development and distribution certificates. However, you do need to create new mobileprovision files.'
Fine, that's clear. My app exists already: I'm just planning to build an updated version, so naturally I have an App ID. The paragraph has told me that I don't need to create certificates, but I do need new mobileprovision files.
The first section after this is headed 'Creating a push notification certificate'. OK, I shall ignore this section because, as explained above, I apparently don't need to create any certificates.
The next section after this is headed: 'Creating a .p12 APN certificate'. Again, my understanding is that I don't need to create any certificates, so I shall ignore this section too.
Oh... I've already reached the end of the chapter on 'Setting up Apple Push Notification Service (Optional)' and I haven't done anything. How do I create the special mobileprovision files that I'm supposed to need for APN?
Well, this seems odd, so I flip back to page 6 and the beginning of the chapter headed 'Creating Certificates', seeking clarification. In the introductory text is a paragraph that reads: "If you want to enable the Apple push notification service (APN), create a separate certificate that you can upload to the Adobe fulfillment server. See the section on setting up push notifications for details.'
So this chapter is telling me that I need to create a new certificate for APN, but no mention of mobileprovision files, yet at the same time tells me to read a chapter that tells me that I don't need to create new certificates for APN and I do need new mobileprovision files.
I'm afraid I can't make any sense of this, and neither can anyone I send these instructions to. Luckily for us, APN isn't particularly significant for a twice-yearly magazine. But it would be nice to get a handle on it in case we launch a weekly.

Hi Tapash
while deploying a page to mds Repository i m getting the same error that root Directory does not exist but it also says that import completed successfully.
when i see the same using jdr_utils.listDocuments('xxxx/oracle/apps/ak/server/webui/xxxPG')

my concern is why i m getting this error
my import command looks like this
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter $JAVA_TOP/xxxx/oracle/apps/ak/server/webui/xxxxPG.xml -jdk13 -mmddir $OA_HTML/jrad -username apps -password apps -rootdir $JAVA_TOP -validate -dbconnection " (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xyxyxyxyxy)(PORT = xyxyx)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID =yyy)))"

@Siva,
I am not using the defacult FRS, I have specfied a specfic location on which the user has full control.

How to change the output directory of .xml files

Hi,
There are lots of .xml files generated under
$ORACLE_AS_HOME/j2ee/home/applications/xmlpserver/xmlpserver/xml.
(ex:/usb/bipub3/oracle/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/applications/xmlpserver/xmlpserver/xml).
I found these files are generated in the following operation;
1.Log in BI Publisher.
2.Select the Schedules tab.
I think they are kind of temp files so we will be able to delete them.
But I'd like to know how to change the output directory.
Can we change the above directory to other path?
Regards.

Why? As that may invalidate support since you configure/alter the deployment.
The location is specified in oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver.war, so you could go into the war file and alter it.

TM Error - An error occurred while creating the backup directory.

mmm
Got the TC last Wednesday. Connected 1 brand new iMac and a one year old mini, both on 10.5.2 with Airport Utility updates.
The mini just started getting errors (Sunday lunch)
TM Error
Unable to complete computer backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory.
Forcing a Backup Now gets the same error.
Mini is connected wirelessly direct to the TC and can browse the TC and read/write files ok.
I can see no reason how why this error is occurring.
TM opens and you can browse the backups fine.
Anyone know how to get TM to be able to create directories again?
Thanks

exactly what I am seeing as well. I had one complete backup before I started seeing the exact error you are getting. I have tried everything I can think of from watching here and spending as much time on hold as I can afford. Hold times to talk with someone who actually might be able to help,that means not the first tech you will speak with but who they transfer you to may understand the TC/TM errors and fixes that work. That means 1 hour plus on hold,almost an hour before the first tech will finally give up and transfer you deeper and 30 minutes to 45 on hold there. Add another hour for them to get caught up with your case. These times are kinda like TC/TM themselves,very slow. I am connected via ethernet and shut down everything when trying to get this to work thus I have lost over 100 hours work time because of trying to get this to work without any interruption. It is such a generic error message it so totally reminds me of windoze daze. All I can do at this point is follow the leader on on the Apple death and dying forums. I am toast on trying and have seen that exact error screen more times than I am willing to admit. I am gonna get something that works as soon as I recover from spending 299 on a new wireless router! Please any of you seeing this error and somehow overcome it please post back and gives us losers something to chew on?

Error saying "There was an error opening this document, the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is correct"

At my work we uses Macs to prepare PDF’s and the create folders to archive and print them. Other areas of work use PC’s to review these PDF. When they go to review these folders there is a small black dot which appears under random characters in the folder name and when they try and open the file an error message saying “There was an error opening this document, the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is correct”. On the PC they can delete the name and rename the folder and the error disappears. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. If I was to have a guess I think its most likely an error with character recognition between the MAC and PC. Any help would be great , thank you

See if this helps on the charachters...

ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist

I'm running an Xserve G5 with one internal boot drive and one RAID using the other two internal drives. I used Apple's Disk Utility to set-up the RAID.
Back in early December, I moved my mail database and mail store to the RAID. Ever since, when I restart the server, the mailaccess.log generates the following error:
Jan 23 18:51:33 mail master[47]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/RAID/mail.data/db
I'm speculating this is a timing error that gets created when Postfix initially can't find the RAID. Then, it must try again and find it because the error message does not repeat and mail starts running.
Is this something to worry about?

Hi Joel,
You're right, it's a timing issues. The mail system is ready for work before the file system is mounted. It's benign.
