OpenDeploy Problem

Hi,

I am using Teamsite V4.5 on Windows 2000 Server. Just started experimenting with OpenDeploy.

I have IBM HTTP SERVER + Teamsite on Development Server and IBM HTTP SERVER + IBM Websphere Server on Production Server. As my first goal I would just like to move the HTML and graphics files I have populated in a workarea called "test_workarea" to production under C:\IBM HTTP SERVER\htdocs\test folder. Goal seems simple enough, I install Open Deploy on Prod and Dev Server, make changes to the cfg files, which I have included below(I dont use any keys):

**************************************************************************
iwodclient.cfg FIle

hostname= development.xyz.com
remote_server= production.xyz.com
remote_port= 1701

deployment=deploy_to_single
area=//IWSERVER/default/main/test/WORKAREA/test_workarea
local_directory=.
remote_directory=C:/IBM HTTP Server/htdocs/test
do_deletes
;
;
*************************************************************************
iwodserver.cfg File

port=1701
teamsite_server=development.xyz.com
allowed_directory=c:\IBM HTTP Server\htdocs\test
;

**************************************************************************

So I start OpenDeploy Service on the Win 2000 servers and everything looks great, but when does the acting deployement happens, I mean I dont see any HTML files under the htdocs folder on Production.

How can I complete this simple test? Am I making any mistake ?

Thanks

I am also not able to use Arguments in the Open Deploy Service in Windows 2000 Server. When i use something like this:

-S -fd C Smiley Indifferent

Program Files\Interwoven\OpenDeploy\conf\iwodclient.cfg I get an error in the log file:

========== Start Log (trace) [Mon Aug 05 16:09:49 2002] ==========

So I changed the name of the iwodclient.cfg file on the Development Server to iwodserver.cfg. I didnt give any arguments while starting the OpenDeploy Service on the Development Server and that worked.

But still I dont see any files deployed on the Production. Am I making a mistake in the path or some other thing?

Quick diagnosis: Try specifiying the path names consistently using windows notation (backslash instead of forward slash) - if you are not running iwdeploy in local directoy fully specify the directory. Any further infos in the log file?

The problem here is the space between the words Program and Files in your path. This is one reason why it is suggested to install things (like OpenDeploy and TeamSite) into a directory named iw-home instead of into the Program Files directory.

Also, if you want help debugging your situation, you should attach your actual config file and the log file from when it does run, which would help solve the problem.
