Yet another manifest problem

LeeCharlebois

Solaris 10
TS 6.7.1 SP1

I've searched the forums and found the many threads discussing problems with previewing relating to the manifest files TS creates in the root of the workarea. Although those posts don't seem to exactly match the problem I'm having, at least I don't think they do, I tried all the "fixes/workarounds", whatever you want to call them, without any luck.

It seems to me my problem is a permissions thing. I realize that means I might not get much help here, but thought I'd give it a shot. There are no manifest files in the root of my workarea, and no temp html files in my preview directory. At the moment my iw.cfg has preview_history_limit=500. I think my problem comes down to TS not being able to delete the manifest files it thinks is there, and then create a new one. This problem is happening for all users. An excerpt from the servletd_out.log when I do a preview:

Any help is appreciated. As always, thanks in advance.

I suggest you contact Support - but I think this may still be a problem related to the issue of the bug which allowed such files to get submitted.

You might try looking through all your editions on that branch to see if you can find that file anywhere in there.

Alternatively (and to test the theory somewhat) - create a new [sibling] branch and workarea and then from the root of the current workarea, select all visible files and directories at the top level and use the Copy To menu option to copy them all to the new branch / workarea - and then try reproducing the problem there.

If you can reproduce the problem in the new branch - then I don't think any of the forum postings you were referencing are associated with your problem.

If you can't reproduce the problem in the new branch... you should work with Support to determine the best way to resolve the problem without losing any historical versions of the files (unless you don't care about historical versions in this branch - in which case just rename the old branch out of the way and the new branch into place and continue working from the new branch - deleting the old branch when you're ready to do so)
