[opencms-dev] 404 in static export after publishing

[Pete Setchell]

Hi,

We've been experiencing a strange problem with files disappearing in our 
static export directory after publishing. Upon further investigation 
after this happened the static export directory contained only an empty 
directory tree. All the files that should have been there were missing.

I can't duplicate the problem on another OpenCMS instance, but it has 
happened a couple of times to our content editors. They've made changes 
and published them, then got 404 errors in the online project. As far as 
I know, there were no errors during publishing, though they probably 
didn't look closely at all the messages flying past.

Is this a bug anybody else has experienced? I can't figure out when 
files are deleted or clened from the static export directory - during a 
normal publish it looks like new files are normally written on top of 
the old ones without ever cleaning the directories.

We're using OpenCMS 5.0.1 with MySQL on Linux.

Cheers,

Pete Setchell
