Roller-3 … guess which bit of the doco I didn’t read properly?
In the process of doing my migration last weekend, I managed to seriously mis-read the Roller 3.0 server admin page. You’ll see a lot of unconfigured Roller sites out there by searching google.The bit which got me was the Server Administration page’s “Handle of weblog to serve as frontpage blog” field. If you do what I did, and set it to a full url (http://www.jmcpdotcom.com/roller/door) rather than just a handle (“door”) then you’ll get no site aggregation happening.None at all.Then you’ll swear a bit, hit google and find loads of mailing lists etc etc…. and then hopefully you’ll find this blog entry.Fortunately for me I mailed two of the Roller team (Dave and Allen, thankyou!) about my problem. Allen asked the question “so why, if you’ve only got one blog, do you want the front page aggregator?” to which the only possible response is that I really do like the summary page.I also sent them the output from my roller_properties table in the db…. and quick as a flash Allen pointed out the problem. Use the handle, not the url.Doh![insert sound of head banging on desk, repeatedly....]Thanks guys for helping me get this one sorted.`Technorati`_ tags: topic:{Technorati}[roller] topic:{Technorati}[front page blog] topic:{Technorati}[blog aggregation] topic:{Technorati}[troubleshooting]
