New weblogs file not found

Question

Hello. I just set up weblogs for the first time. I enabled weblogs in server admin and chose a theme. I left the default folder for storing files as it was, but I can't access weblogs from the web. I have several sites on my server. I have tried all of them in each of these ways - http://domainname.com/weblog, http://www.domainname.com/weblog and I have even tried using my ip address instead of my domain names. Every time, I get error 404 file not found. Does anyone know what might be going on here? Thanks in advance.

Ok i may have a fix for the vanishing entries broken server and such ..
What 10.4.6 messes a LOAD with is actually our good ole posix files ..
Most of my files inside /Library/Tomcat/blojsom_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/<USERNAME>/ were set back to root:admin ...
Charming isnt it ? Of course there are NO Ways (POSIX) the process can access these .. so you have to modify a few things .
First : Stop application server and webservices.
Second : make sure permissions inside /Library/Tomcat/blojsom_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/<USERNAME>/ will list as follow :
1626760 drwxr-xr-x 12 appserve appserve 408 Jun 18 04:14 .
631548 drwxrwx--- 17 appserve appserve 578 Jun 18 04:02 ..
1626761 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 65 Jun 18 04:02 authorization.properties
1626762 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 1029 Jun 18 04:00 blacklist.filters
1626763 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 1611 Jun 18 04:02 blog.properties
1626764 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 138 Jun 18 04:00 contextloader.properties
1626765 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 543 Jun 18 04:01 emoticons.properties
1626766 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 593 Jun 18 04:00 flavor.properties
1626767 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 97 Jun 18 04:01 macros.properties
1626768 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 709 Jun 18 04:00 plugin.properties
1626769 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 192 Jun 18 04:00 referer.properties
1626770 -rw-r--r-- 1 appserve appserve 117 Jun 18 04:00 showmemore.properties
if they dont run the following sudo ed commands .
chown appserver:appserveradm /Library/Tomcat/blojsom_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/<Username>
Thrid : look up in your /Library/Application Support/Weblogs/ your entries may have been modified as well ..
run the following sudoed :
su
<password>
cd /Library/Application Support/Weblogs
ls -Cauil
if you get root somewhere your entries will be unusable . hence you have again to change the owners .
chown -R appserver:appserveradm /Library/Application\ Support/Weblogs/
ls -Cauil shall now give you the following ...
631548 drwxrwx--- 17 appserve appserve 578B Jun 18 04:21 ./
631542 drwxrwx--- 10 appserve appserve 340B Jun 18 04:21 ../

631612 -rw-rw---- 1 appserve appserve 5K Jun 18 04:00 web.xml
631614 -rw-rw---- 1 appserve appserve 185B Jun 18 01:14 xmlrpc.properties
Fourth restart the application server service and web service ..
Enjoy the fix .
