does not have a configured filename extension

TS 5.5.2
OS win2k

We have been running a process for many days now on our ts5.5 machine that uses the command line to generate templated files. This process has been working for days.

This weekend we migrated from our 5.0 machine to the 5.5 machine doing the following steps:
1) rename 'NIF" branch to "NIF_ORIG" branch
2) converted from 5.0 to 5.5 the "NIF" branch.
3) tried to "iwgen" a file and received the error: browser.tpl does not have a configured filename extension
4) Tried to generate the same file in the NIF_ORIG branch and it worked.

templating.cfg is
1) valid XML
2) exists in the right folder (we removed it and templating went away)
3) consists of what we want. We even removed everything we were not having trouble with.

Then we got desperate and decided to rename the branches around:
1) NIF -> NIF_ARCHIVE
2) NIF_ORIG -> NIF

This put the old version of NIF that we were using as testing for days back to the way it was. Now it doesn't regenerate either.

We tried for hours to get this to work. There are other posts with this same error on them but nothing there seemed to fit or help.

Other things we have tried:
1) stripped down the templating.cfg to only the one entry we want
2) invalidated the XML in the templating.cfg and received EXACTLY the same error
3) stripped down the template file (browser.tpl) to nothing
4) rebooted
5) with/without the Y: on the command line (remember this worked before we renamed the branches!)

Attached is the templating.cfg file.

Solution: (Please remember we are an NT shop while you read this!)

The "iw.cfg" on the 5.0.2 machine has:
[teamsite_templating]
use_java_ui=false
data_root=TemplateData

The "iw.cfg" on the 5.5.2 machine has:
[teamsite_templating]
use_java_ui=false
data_root=templatedata

Notice the spelling of the data_root. On the 5.0.2 machine the T and D are uppercase while on the 5.5.2 machine, they are in lowercase.

The solution is one of two things.
1) Either change the config file to be the same as on the old system
2) Rename the directories.

I renamed the templatedata directories to all lowercase and that solved the problem!
