Generate returns can't create in the directory...

Bowker

We have a new 5.5.2 on w2k running and we are having trouble with creation of templates.
When we use the GUI to generate new files the following error (in an alert box) appears:

TeamSite Temlating: Template Preview And Generate
Error: The presentation template pres1.tpl does not allow for the creation of a file in the directory \default\main\NT\WORKAREA\development\www

The iwgen CLT works fine, as does regenerate, just not generate (or preview).

The template.cfg file reads (in part):
<category name="cobble">
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex="NT" />
</locations>
<data-type name="standard" dcr-type="xml">
<presentation>
<template name="pres1.tpl" extension="html">
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex=".*" preview-dir="/">
<directory dir-regex=".*" />
</branch>
</locations>
</template>
</presentation>
</data-type>
</category>

any clues?

It sure looks to me like it should work.

I would replace "NT" with ".*" in the category branch vpath-regex, just for kicks. That seems to be the only deviation from your snippet and the out-of-the-box example templating.cfg.

Also, have you tried to generate files in the root of your workarea, instead of under the "www" directory? Just curious.
